It is simply unbelievable that two cockpits were installed on such a tiny plane - I have seen a Me 163 in Deutsches Museum, and I was sooo much surprised with its overall "pocket-size" dimensions...

Mr D
I don't think the life expectancy was very long for the pilots of Comet!!
They had to glide in once fuel had ran out.
Looking really good, like the tail mottling 👌🖌️👍👍

Thanks all for the comments. They actually had to remove the rocket engine to fit the second cockpit, so this was intended to be towed up to altitude for pilots to practice landings under glide. Never made it into service though, as they moved away from the Komet program before testing was finished/production started.

Great idea about the watch pins! ⌚ Definitely gonna try this out on my builds. Looking forward to the finished result.

Mr D
Hi Edouard👋😀👍.
Yes l just get cheap ones of eBay, the do different sizes, you can pull ends n spring out for barrel look, or file ends last to have a recoil cannon look.
The gun turret nearly there now....lots of sanding n filling low spot.
Thanks for looking in on build.👍👍

Zbynek Honzik
I'm very curious to see the result. I built this model as a young boy too.

Mr D
Hi Zbynek 👋🙂👍.
Thanks for your interest. Nice to know you had it too, l built X3 the Tu airliner and the bomber. But this was my favourite as l liked the shape and that it had floats n guns.
Got part of tail on this evening.
Keep looking in for updates 😃👍👍

Mr D
Airliner Was the Tu-134
