Doc SBS Models has several sexy Italian birds out there. Check them out. Macchi MC 72 and several Fiats.

You are absolutely right. I do have one of those on stash.

What I am talking about is this one here. I have the conversion from Italiankits.com and will use on a normal Sparviero. Just need to get the other projects done first.

I think I'm done.

I'm not sure i'm going to take both to the show or not. First, both these schemes would not have been sitting together. G-ACSS in this scheme is Australian Anniversary (one of three schemes she wore) not her iconic red Grosvenor House.
Besides, I think Black Magic is better build (If I can say so myself).
From what I've read the only time all 3 initial Comets would have been on the field together was the start of the MacRobertson Race where Grosvenor House, Black Magic and the "Green One" G-ACSR.

Only other thing I may do is flat coat the control surfaces but I doubt I will.

Thanks for your support during this!

A beautiful finish! :vgood:
That's an interesting bit of aviation history. It is rare indeed when a DC-2 is thought of as a racing airplane. Given the reputation of the Gee-Bee that entry would be surprising too. :hmm:
