| Thanks for your response to this Comet build. Wish Guillow's would expand their line of models and revive some of these old kits, but suppose they have enough to do getting their models updated with laser cut parts. Again thanks for your comments, and I really enjoy this site. |

Building again a model I put together back in the mid 1940'S. |

This old Comet kit has a fragile frame. To beef it up, I used 1/16" x 1/8 " stock in many places instead of the 1/16" square. Also added gussets and additional braces in the fuselage. Doubled the ribs and spars in the wings,and increased the size of the trailing edge stock. If this kit were to be reintroduced, I would suggest an alignment spar with the formers to make easier construction of the pontoons. |

Tissue has been adhered to frames, shrunk, and is being sealed with clear dope. |

Completed Seaplane. Used Guillow's Aeronca Champion Kit #301 decals instead of the cutouts on the Comet plan. |
