After a 40 year
hiatus I joined a club and started building models again. Saw a photo of an
Aircomet with drop tanks and decided to build this Hobbycraft kit. Added a True
Details cockpit as the kit's is sorely lacking in detail, it's fit was
excellent. The drop tanks are from a Revell F-80 kit.

I used the kit decals and
Tamiya rattle can bright aluminum for paint. Model Master paint for the
cockpit was used and a Pitt Pen to highlight the panel lines. Semi-gloss lacquer
was used to set the decals.
Fun weekend build,
not a lot of parts and it looks like an Aircomet.
