Here I go again. This is purely to get Adam off my back :twisted: This is the Airfix 1/72 DH88 Comet as Black Magic. The kit is more bog than plastic and must be from Airfix's line of limited run kits or so it seems :lol: :lol: :lol: It took a while to do this thing due to all the sanding required. It came out ok and is definitely a 6 footer. I have a few more of these to do including Bulldog from the Planes movie. That one is waiting for Damo to figure out the decals hint hint 8-) Ok here's the pics

I don't blame him. I might limit myself to 1 of these per year otherwise I'd give the hobby away I reckon :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, still doing Bulldog. Figured out how to do the decals, just gotta find the time to put into them.
