Captain Comet was one of the recurring characters appearing during the early 1950s in DC’s legendary science fiction comic, Strange Adventures. Details and color of the Captain’s costume varied from issue-to-issue, so I combined those that I thought would make the best looking model.

Basic Figure: Revell Flash Gordon
Head: Aurora US Air Force Pilot
Upper Torso: Revell Phantom
Collar: Styrene rod
Belt, Straps & Trim: Sheet styrene
Gun: Scrap bits
Paints: Ulrich 410-M Styrene

Completed in 1967.

Note that Atlantis Toy & Hobby has just reissued the Revell Flash Gordon kit. This is the first time that the model has been available in 50 years!
