(Comet Constellation)
It almost looks like something that Stéphane Beaumort (Bispro) could have made.

It's a good PhotoShop job but not as good as Stéphane's meldings. ;)

I thought that too, it's his style of presentation as well.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've tried using the wings from the Airfix HS/BAe Nimrod. Didn't quite work so I cut the middle section of the fuselage and reglued it upside down .That's as far as I got.

I started my version of the JetConnie:



Fuselage of a Revell Super Connie, wings of an old RugRat resin Comet I.

(Guess what I'm doing with the Comet fuselage and the Connie wings........)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
