At the last second I decided to whiff it. The FF stands for FastFreight, and was one of the first jet cargo aircraft in the world my warped universe. Base kit is the Airfix Comet 4 B, which has been languishing as a real world build for over 20 years. Too late to do an interior, so I may not have the swing-tail fully open. Port side cargo door will not be opened, just an engraved outline.

Thanks. Now, wouldn't it look even cooler in RCAF Transport colours? If I can find another kit I just may do that. 

 

Agreed    very cool .

Swing tail!

Love it! 

Nice  idea!

Yep, I've built both the Frog and Airfix ones.

Little kit of horror .... ( that old AIRFIX one )    but such a nice plane .

I had the Comet racer model as a kid and like every plane I built then..I put guns on it  .
I've loved twins even when I was a little dude.

I built this Airfix Comet Racer a fair few years ago now. Takes you back to when plastic kits were still in their infancy

I remember that one, it looks REALLY good in the Camotint scheme too! 

I'd like to do a comet racer again ..in 48th..with a couple of merlins stuck on it and build either a combat prototype or a super fast race plane ..not sure if anyone does a 48th Comet racer tho but ya never know.

Managed to add some interior, just so that the opening doesn't look bare. Still some paint touch-up to do. Random unreadable spare stencil on rear pressure bulkhead. Door leads to storage area.
