Caudron completed.

You will note the absence of anything on the fin/rudder. My homemade decal and fine freehand painting skills are not up to it.

  On with the Comet.

Excellent Caudron by anyone's standard Gordon. That grandson is so lucky.

Lou

Thank you, Lou

I guess he is.
I'm enjoying the process.

Update on Comet will be forthcoming when more significant progress has been made. At the moment its just the
Shaping ,sanding, checking

Cheers

Gordon:

Wonderful carving!! Great finish and a vibrant  colour  to peak a child's interest.

Just wondering what clear finish you applied. The smooth finish and high gloss certainly adds to the beauty of the model.

Ken,

Straight out of a can of Tamiya "French Blue". Several coats cut back between each.

Watching the Spits with interest.

  A bit of progress. Wing fillets done. A bit of Brunswick Green applied . Landing light to be added.
  Nacelles need just a little more work. Mainly the inlet ports and adding an exhaust.

  Cheers

  Gordon

Again, please adopt me as your grandson. Looking forward to the finished Comet and mobile.

Lou

Coming on well Gordon. Regards Paul J.

These are amazing. maybe they will get your grandson into the hobby when he is older?

 He may do. His dad is into RC cars and boats and aircraft before 1939

  New coat of primer.

  Bit of surgery will be required on the nose to fit the acrylic landing light.

  Shouldn't be long before its finished.

  Cheers

  Gordon

Can't say enough. Marvelous Comet.

Lou

I just finished building a Commet in plastic and it doesn't look that good. You've definitely got the lines right.

Gordon:

Nice smooth lines and a great looking finish. All the components blends in together. Well done!! - ken

Landing light added.

Off in search of some Tamiya Fine Primer.

I've made a start on some decals. Just need to match the background colour.

Cheers

Gordon
