Comet Kit detail parts

Post by Dave Dibb (Armorpax) »

Hi All,

I am working on a number of parts for the Comet release and the first ones are shown below. All of the parts shown in this thread will be included in Armortek's kit.

I will add other included items as I get them made.

Best regards

Dave

Great looking parts Dave :D :D

I've been looking into the extinguishers and Methyl Bromide is nasty stuff.

Better than being burnt alive of course but seriously bad for the health, especially if you were in a confined space which has just been flooded with the stuff.

The cynic in me wonders if TPTB at the time decided it was the best thing to use to save the tank, regardless of the effect it had on the crew... :shock:

Adrian.

Hi Dave,
Absolutely superb work on the detail parts, the Comet is shaping up to be an excellent model.
Can you say what they will be made of, are they all white metal or a mix of materials?

Cheers,
David

Hi Dave, superb work.
Sorry, I would not have misunderstood, because my poor English: you confirm that all the items presented in this thread will be included in the Armortek kit ?

Hi Alfredo

We can confirm that all the parts that Dave is showing here will be included with the Armortek kit. All the parts will be in metal for the production kits, but some will be in resin on our prototype. It will be our most detailed kit so far.
