1/72 DH88 Comet "Black Magic"

Postby hrtpaul » Tue Apr 15, 2014 2:53 pm

Here I go again. This is purely to get Adam off my back :twisted: This is the Airfix 1/72 DH88 Comet as Black Magic. The kit is more bog than plastic and must be from Airfix's line of limited run kits or so it seems :lol: :lol: :lol: It took a while to do this thing due to all the sanding required. It came out ok and is definitely a 6 footer. I have a few more of these to do including Bulldog from the Planes movie. That one is waiting for Damo to figure out the decals hint hint 8-) Ok here's the pics

Good work Paul, salty had all sorts of prep issues with this kit.. I thought he was going to feed it to the dogs..
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times... I remember when the air was clean and the sex was dirty..

Yep, still doing Bulldog. Figured out how to do the decals, just gotta find the time to put into them.
