Hi, Jens

first of all : don't think it's pure criticism If you see that photo posted (good for all Comets from 1 to 4 c) the fin is shorter and not so prounounced . In my opinion it should be lesser long and lesser tall but it's not a problem, your work is highly respectable and I am very happy to have the early Comets available, too.

Remember the comet 4 has a much longer body then the 1 or 2. the longer the length between the tail and CG, the smaller the surfaces have to be to have the same effect.

the short bodied boeing 747sp, had to have a longer vertical tail because it was shorter,

I am betting the same thing happend here, but in reverse, the shorter tail would have less drag so I made sense to reduce it.

As far as I know the Comets tail never changed at least visually in that area they are identical

The 747SP had a bigger fin because it was shortend after design..the Comet was lengthened.

DC9 10-50 have the same tail as did the longer DC 8 over the shortened.........Tridet 3 had the same tail as the 1 and 2

Look at pictures of Comets and that will tell you.

The comet doesn't really have a prominent dorsal as such, more a small blending curved join at the front similar to the original Vanguard.

But thanks for the model Jens......it'll do fine just as it is
