A red stripe around the aft section and the landing gear are next. |

terrific ! stirring up memories too...I must have built over a hundred of these early USAF jets in plastic kit form when I was a kid. What is the wingspan of this model, Dave? |

Really nice! Hope my canopy goes on that well. I did my red stripe with painted masking tape. Thanks for the idea. It works well. |

More and more beautiful each day! |

Thanks, all. Wingspan, with tanks, is 24". |

I made a plastic Starfire, 1/48th Revell I think, back in 1955. I always liked this machine. |

Oh Yeah; Revell. Shiny, hard silver plastic with swirl patterns and the raised locations of the Nat'l emblems and USAF. Wish I had one now. |

I have a Revell 1/53 scale for reference. |

That's the kit I remember Ray..And now this in balsa with a two foot span. Looking sweet |

The Comet kit is from 1953, the Revell plastic kit is from 1987. |
