Silver Comet

Monday, 15 May 2000
I finished this kit the other day. It's a large and impressive 'D' powered job. It's supposed to have a '50s science-fiction retro look to it, but the fins are the wrong shape. They are concave instead of convex. All in all though, I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. I've decided not to put the decals on though. These crappy self-stick decals would only obscure my otherwise flawless finish job. I'll try to get a picture up soon.
