Jeff T Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I've been working on my Komet by Meng, and thought I would start a WIP thread.I have only got the cockpit painted for now, but work continues. I will be building mine with the fuselage buttoned up as I like to have my models display the lines of the aircraft, I am not into open panels, so a lot of this kit won't be used in the build. Anyway, here is where I am up to at the moment, A quick dry fit. Thanks for looking, Jeff.

LSP_Kevin Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nice start Jeff. This kit just looks so different compared to the old Hasegawa kit, in terms of engineering and break-down. Looking forward to following your build mate! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Gorgeous pit. Did you use the PE belts? About the only thing I didnt like on mine was the instrument decals. Cant wait to see more. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff T Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks fella's! Gorgeous pit. Did you use the PE belts? About the only thing I didnt like on mine was the instrument decals. Cant wait to see more.James. Thanks James!....yes, I used the kit PE belts.I had some RB Productions paper belts to put on it, but after making the first one up, it just looked way too big for the seat, I think because the Komet seat is very small, so I used the PE ones that came with the kit. I agree about the instrument decals, I would have rathered a set up like Aires have in their cockpit sets with an acetate sheet. Cheer's, Jeff.

Jeff T Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Work has been slow on the Komet, little modelling time these days, but here is a small update. A lot of time has been trying to get the panels on top of the fuselage installed and cleaned up.On my kit, these didn't fit very well at all, so it took a fair bit of filling, sanding and re-scribing to get them to look alright. This plane is small, but there seems to be a lot of work in this kit to start to get it to take shape. Thanks for looking, Jeff.
