Very nice. I like the painted masking tape idea. Happy Veteran's Day. |

The red stripes on the wing and stabilizer are painted masking tape. |

The struts are made of different sizes of styrene tubes and plugged into another styrene tube already glued in. |

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

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

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

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

...that's quite a large bird them! |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 40694 | 03 Nov 18 13:16 |
Thanks, all. Wingspan, with tanks, is 24". |

More and more beautiful each day! |

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. |

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? |

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

Progress shot |

Only 52 days until the days start getting longer! Ray may have a point, but February in Iowa (or Minnesota) is not worth it. The tea is iced without the use of cubes. And we're not a whole lot better. |
