biplane guy, Comment for image # 39963 | 04 Mar 18 15:01 | A lot of skill displayed there, both the build and the covering. Painting would not have done it justice. |
heywooood, Comment for image # 39966 | 03 Mar 18 11:27 | scigs30 is a master of clean assembly and tissue covering, absolute master |
rgood, Comment for image # 39966 | 02 Mar 18 11:38 | This is a super model - first class work! |
Don C, Comment for image # 39963 | 02 Mar 18 10:34 | Very nice work. If I could cover that well, I could try a flier. I really like being able to see the interior structure. I agree with you on Comet instructions, but then, who reads the instructions? :) |

scigs30, Image # 39959 | 01 Mar 18 20:57 | 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. |
scigs30, Image # 39958 | 01 Mar 18 20:53 | Here she is next to my Guillows small Stuka. |
scigs30, Image # 39957 | 01 Mar 18 20:53 | Compared to my Guillows Stuka and Monogram 1/48 kit, the Comet build is large. |
scigs30, Image # 39956 | 01 Mar 18 20:52 | Originally I wanted mine to look like my old Cox Stuka, but decided to keep it white so I could see the construction design. |
scigs30, Image # 39955 | 01 Mar 18 20:51 | The decals are peel and stick, the kit tissue is what I used even though it was a little brown. |
scigs30, Image # 39954 | 01 Mar 18 20:51 | Not a Guillows die cut kit. |
