Chris is still waiting for the drive sprockets to be machined, and they will come later. In the meantime, the main part of the Comet kit arrived finally, last week. It's a mouthwatering build prospect ..and just to whet the appetite a tad, here are a few pics from the menu :
The running gear:
Kit in general:
The sides, showing a strong family resemblance to the Cromwell it is based upon:
The hull floor, showing Christian's new etched logo/webpage:
Mantlet and Gun assembly:
When it's built, I want it to have details sufficient to pass it off as a reasonable 1/16 facsimile of one of these:
I'd quite like my version to have the 'Normandy' cowling, as it adds character and an indication of the Theatre of operations in Northern Europe. The Regiment and markings will involve research later.
It will be a while before I can begin, not simply because i don't have all the parts I need, but also because I'm looking after a sick Westie at the moment (she has cancer). I want to make her remaining time in her beloved Highlands as comfortable (and discomfort free) as I possibly can, given the 13 years of love and entertainment she's given me....
