I didn't even realise there were two seater versions of this. It's certainly an interesting subject and gives you an opportunity to show off the cockpit that bit better.

Coming along very nicely though with a very neat camoflage job. Always exciting to remove the cockpit mask and see how it looks!

[Guest]

Tomorrow I hope to take it off after the matt has dried off.

Another great spray job there Tony, looking forward to see it with its Tractor unit.

[Guest]

Well the matt is on and drying. The tactor needs some work before spraying again. End of week I hope to finish it. Thank you Ray.

From the research I have done on the net they only made 2 that is know to have been operating. I just hope the mask comes off ok.

Well I took the mask off the canopy of the Komet. Added some of the small parts and put the decals on.

Thats a nice job Tony, well done. A bit of an oddball plane but hey, still a fantastc job. You know... i was looking today at when i joined this site, Oct 08 just over 2 years ago and i git to thinking. I have built 1 and 3/4 planes in that time, how many have you completed ? a lot more i know lol. I need the practice but its very slow going. Do you think im still a beginer having only built 1 complete plane, i guess ill be 100 before i get to novice.

I really dont know I have a shelf with ones that need to be finished off but that depends how I feel at the time. Have to be in the right frame of mind. Still have the tractor to complete.

Thank you Andy.
