SCRATCHBUILD SCRATCHBUILD SCRATCHBUILD!

When I see a full scale aircraft that I like, it goes on the ''to do list''.
Currently, in no particular order:

Kalinin K-7
Shorts Sunderland
Dehavilland Comet jetliner
Avro CF-105 Arrow
Okha rocket plane
B-36 with droppable nukes
Tupolev Tu-144
Tupolev Tu-134
Tupolev Tu-98
Illushin Il-86
Etrich Taube (actually being built...)
Supermarine S-6
Baade 152

And others....</p>
You bet! Somebody's gotta pick up the Comet project. I saw that you posted on this before, so I guess someone has interest in the almost unmodeled plane. 4 Microfans sheeted directly over, to keep the same size nacelles that I now have at 51" didn't cut it, for a number of reasons, so here's the solution below. As of now, the completed exhaust thrust seems well within range. Absolutely a scratchbuild. It may even turn out to me more work than the Saro A1 was. [X(]
