| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 30-Jan-11 12:02 |  | | Views : 1028 | | Here's a progress update. The wheels are just stuck in the holes in the wing waiting for glue. I had planned on making the landing gear removable but as much fun as this build has been, it is time to move on. |
| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:51 |  | | Views : 1212 | | Here you can see the carved cowl and the capopy detail. This thing is going to be heavy but tough, like all Grumman products. |
| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:50 |  | | Views : 1024 | | Here are some cowl details. I have some more work to do on the bottom exhaust oulet and some smoothing of the cowl flaps to do. |
| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:49 |  | | Views : 807 | | Covered in Silkspan. The fin is attached, the movable rudder will come later. The bump underneath the tail is the arresting hook fairing. |
| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:48 |  | | Views : 747 | | If you were to build this exactly as per the plan, you would have a very airplane. |
| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:45 |  | | Views : 729 | | This is a Comet 24" F6F I bought on Ebay. Like all Comet kits, it is minimalist in its approach. I'm going to try and fly this one. |

| CPN | Comet North American P51 Mustang | Parked | 08-Jan-11 12:22 |  | | Views : 1062 | | Here's a W VA ANG F-51D You can see the uncuffed prop here. |
| CPN | Comet North American P51 Mustang | Parked | 08-Jan-11 12:16 |  | | Views : 1033 | | I originally wanted to make a few small mods and make this into a post war Air National Guard F-51K. The K had an uncuffed prop and extended fin. The markings on these ANG Mustangs were sparse. What you see here (red stripes on the stars and bars), serial number on the tail and PA ANG flanking the national insignia on the fuse (if the plane was from PA of course). |

| CPN | Comet North American P51 Mustang | Parked | 08-Jan-11 12:13 |  | | Views : 1302 | | Still waiting rubber, wheel covers, antenna and aerial. This was a great kit - lots of fun. |
