It really looks great. I've never been able to get a metal finish as good as this. |

Your planes are all amazing. What do you plan on building next? |

I haven't decided on next build. After 57 yrs of model building I am running out of choices. Maybe I'll just start over. I will show pics of whatever in progress. Sure wish I had some old Comet kits. |

Poppy, headed to Chicago at the end of the month. May be able to acquire some old Comet kits. Anything special you are interested in??? |

I remember a nice B-26 Invader that I built in '57. |

O.K. Let me know if there is anything at all in the Comet line in which you have an interest. |

I think the Invader was a Comet kit. Comet "stick and tissue" was about all that was available. I was building and flying U-contol during teen yrs. Later R/C but too much time building and not enough flying B-4 disaster convinced me to just build scales. |

Hello Poppy, Great looking 38. Why did you stop flying. Such great models serve to get the younger crowd interested. |
