I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Here she is all built with weight and rubber added ready for flight. Finaly weight is 165 grams. Covering was a challenge but I covered with wet tissue. Two pieces were used on the fuselage for a smooth look. The wing was a challenge so I covered that wet as well to help with the large LE profile. Once she was all shrunk, I brushed on 2 coats of Aerogloss dope. The decals did not stick well so I glued some on with white glue. The wing is so sturdy I could not add washout, so I deflected the outer ailerons to aid in washout. The wheel pants are glued to the wire not the wing.

Here she is next to my Guillows small Stuka.

Compared to my Guillows Stuka and Monogram 1/48 kit, the Comet build is large.

Originally I wanted mine to look like my old Cox Stuka, but decided to keep it white so I could see the construction design.

The decals are peel and stick, the kit tissue is what I used even though it was a little brown.

Not a Guillows die cut kit.

Cool design, that is the only reason I am building this old bird because I know she is not going to fly well.

The build went pretty fast, I really like the cardboard tube but it does add weight. The big issue is I had to add scrap balsa so I could attach tissue to parts of the frame work. Typical Comet, poor instructions. The plastic parts are also a pain but after much work they were finally cut out.

This is no laser cut kit, and Comet only partially die cut their kits. So I used a pencil to trace the die cut part and then finished cutting the parts out of the old balsa sheets.
