Nice finish...makes a change to see a Comet in a different colour to Red...I think there was a Black one as well but I prefer the Green...well done. :thumb2:

Well done on a pig of a kit. I've got the black racer version and it's an awful bit of plastic... Nice one Peter :D

Very smart result from questionable moulds that are about as old as I am.

Ugly, I think not, IMHO one of the sleekest designs of the inter war period and of course a precursor to the Mosquito.
