de Havilland Comet 4B

Roland Sachsenhofer
I have never seen a "Comet" in real- but Ihave been fascinated by this airoplane--beauty since I was a youngster!
Not long ago I realized that a venerable Airfix is still around and waiting to be build.....
Here are some pictures of what you see after opening the package.
The first building steps are quickly done -and, despite they reveal quite a demand for filling, sanding and re-working, they fall together to a very nice representation of this splendid looking first-generation passenger jet!
I am planing to build the Comet depicted on the box-art.
