It may be pink, it may have a camo scheme worn by some Hudsons.  It will have two engines and is inspired by NARSES2's recent build.

Yes, a Comet Jim, nearly but not quite as we know it.

Well I enjoyed my build of this ancient piece of plastic. Looking forward to it. Now the Hudson that the PR unit had, had a very interesting scheme  :thumbsup:

Do you mean the one in all over Camotint with the cameras hidden in the belly? Or the weirdly camouflaged one, which was mainly Camotint with tiger stripes? IIRC there's decal sheets for both of them, or there was anyway.
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 was thinking of the tiger stripe one. One profile I have has it in sky/dark green with either light slate grey or dark blue grey with the sky carried on over the upper surface as the stripes. It's in SAM's Camouflage and Markings No 2

Yes this will be the scheme, and the Comet is now essentially thrown together:


As with my BEA Comet (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,40287.msg675427.html#msg675427) it's a case of glue, fill and sand to shape!  And fit a tailwheel.  So essentially a paint job.

Apologies for the size of the photo - not able to edit at the moment - once I get home I'll replace it with something slightly smaller, and the right way up. SORTED

Peak District.  Iffy wifi and a slow netbook.  Dunno why I can't get the photo right (despite trying).  Will sort it out at the weekend when I get home.

Oh yes, that Hudson looks great. It'd fool some JMNs even though it's RW.  ;D :lol:
