De Havilland DH88 Comet, KP 1/72 completed

Finally completed, here is the iconic racer in its green, incredible hulk aspect.
Again congratulations to KP (Kovozávody Prostějov) for their increasing line of very appealing civil subjects, in this case a classic that deserved re-edition.
As you can see, the kit can be turned into a nice replica, if with some (normal modeling) work.
Without wanting to get into a lengthy exchange regarding this, I deem it a giant step upwards and forwards from the two very old Airfix and Novo-Frog ones. The price is convenient, and I believe you get a fair ration of quality/price. Still, I believe the SBS Comet to be the very best around, if in resin and with a larger tag price. It becomes a matter of personal choice. Many of you don't like to deal with resin or like to keep the modeling budget in check, so this is a good option.
