Very good looking, very sharp, although very British... Should compare with the Italian racers of the time...
Great Job master!

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.

Way to go Bob! Nice one!
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!

I can't find a picture of Grosvenor House, Black Magic and the "Green One" together but I did find this.
It's Black Magic, the Green One and a 2 seater GeeBee at the start of the race.
The 2 seater Gee Bee was flown by Jacqueline Cochran.
