Product Description
Build one of the most famous British racing aircraft of the 1930s with this De Havilland DH.88 Comet 1:33 scale card model kit from Orel (No. 187).
The De Havilland DH.88 Comet was designed and built in Great Britain in 1934 specifically to compete in the MacRobertson Air Race from Mildenhall, England, to Melbourne, Australia. Created with speed and long-distance performance in mind, the elegant twin-engine aircraft featured an innovative lightweight wooden construction and became one of the most recognisable racing aircraft of its era.
This detailed 1:33 scale paper model recreates the distinctive streamlined shape of the DH.88 Comet and includes a detailed cockpit interior. The kit is printed across 10 A4 sheets and offers a rewarding project of medium difficulty, making it particularly suitable for modellers with some previous card-modelling experience.
Although the kit does not include extensive written assembly instructions, the construction process is supported by detailed assembly drawings showing how the components fit together.
A colourful and distinctive addition to any collection of historic aircraft, British aviation, racing planes or 1:33 scale card models.
