| These are the PL series of early Comet
plastic aircraft kits from the early fifties I believe. I now have the F-94C (PL-3) kit and may have had the F-100 (PL-2) when I was ten years old. I would have liked to have had the F3D Skyknight kit. The scale is about 1/87 I believe. They are typical of the early fifties plastic kits in that they have raise letters and national insignia along with decals, no cockpit, and a stand instead of landing gear. Cool stuff. |

| Below, I have shown two of the S Series of
Comet Solid Scale Models that sold for .25 cents. In the kit list above, only S1 thru S6 appears, but the F-88 Voodoo is kit S11 and the F-84 Thunderjet is kit S9. The kits are balsa wood with a vacuum formed canopy, decal sheet, and hard wood wheels. The balsa parts had to be carved and sanded to shape. The price is printed directly on the box at the ends of the box. |
