Sensational!  :thumbsup: :bow:
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! :)

very nice,  I think elegant is a good descriptor
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Looks very good TomZ, but the Metro-Vicks were very big engines as you can see in this photo.



The Comet was barely as big as a Spitfire ----

Lovely bit of work, which is such a natural idea I'm surprised I haven't seen a model of this before. What did you adapt the engine nacelles from?
