Not sure what part number 13 in the kit is for, but it makes for a nice pressure sensor if applied to the edge of the vertical fin.
|
|
The MC 707 can be a nice kit with a little love. Here I\'ve used the resin cockpit replacement part and reworked the engine pylon-wing joints.

Ive modified the Airfix Comet 4B to a 1A using the FRsin conversion kit.
|
|
|
This Comet required a lot of chopping and filling. If only Id know there was to be a plastic version available soon!
|
|
I sawed off the resin exhaust pipes and replaced them with aluminum tubing and the end of a toothpick.
|
|
|
Got the look of the plane about right- painting is next.

Time for a face transplant using a Revell nosecone and resin cockpit.
|
|
A pretty good donor match! Time for some filling and sanding.
|
|
|
I shortened the fin down to its original height, before the 707s received their stability modifications.
|
|
test fitting the gear- thanks to Blinkjames for the wheels!
