Notice the wooden balsa prop. That's the way it was back in the day.

I used the color scheme of the Peashooter in the Air Force Museum. You can get goot photos from their web site.

Its covered with Jap tissue as supplied in the kit.

In checking against scale data the wing is about 3 inches longer than it should be. I suspect the Comet made that dimension accurate the model would be too large for the 10 cent model fleet which generally had a 16 inch wingspan.

As near as I can remember this was the first model airplane kit I ever tried to build, probably in 1939. I didn't finish it but I did cut myself on the split double edge razor blade used then to cut out the parts.

The plans were originally drawn in 1936.
