As DSB model has given me a headache and left me a "gibbering wreck"with its" plumbing"--thought I would have a break and build something to relax ---had this one saved for a "rainy-day"--( ..more plumbing )..

I wonder if you are going to set some sort of record as the first person to do a conversion of the new Comet kit :-) :-) :-)

Hey Steve,

for those wondering "lelik" is best translated as "fugly"

Nice toy Steve. The engine in the middle looks like a 3 cylinder air-cooled Deutz.

Steve, IIRC the Olifants had the same Continental engine in them as the lump you have on the Comet.

Sorry, forgot to mention LF1030 is Legend Production's M48 engine and LF1032 is their M60 engine.

EDIT: Steve for more info on the 'Resin Lump' have a look here:
