INSPIRED BY NARSES2

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.

DeHavilland Sea Comet?

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

Oh that will be cool ! I might pop into my LHS and see it he has one as well.

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

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.

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.

Nice part of the world unless you want to try and communicate with others

Have a good trip back

PR19_Kit · September 23, 2015, 06:53:35 AM

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

Captain Canada · September 23, 2015, 07:10:47 AM

Great stuff guys thanks ! I'd no idea really regarding those Hudsons. Now that is somat to remember and check into again. Great little read above. Tragic really, but that was the times eh ?

The little Comet looks good. Nice to see the updates !

PSR Phase 1 under way.
