When the first Moebius Comet came out, I was looking forward to building the Dyno Don car. Before realizing an A/FX version would be coming out,  I modded the fender wells, and added a cammer, engine to this one. Now I have several Beswick, and Nicholson Comets in my stash.

Sure. I’m almost positive it’s from the AMT 1965 Ford Galaxie kit.

I have that same 64 kit too. This is my next car I plan on building, using the parts from the A/FX Dyno Don kit.

These Comets , '60 % '61 Represent two of my finished builds . Both were Glue Bomb Rescues . Modelhaus parts were used as sources for lost and the missing . NOTE , the 1:1 Taillight lenses on the '69 MU are the exact exact Part Number as the '69 Edsel . IIRC only the date Code switched from 60 to 61 in the FoMoCo Part number . These numbers were embossed into the plastic back in the day .  Externally marking the Model Year . Implemented Industry wide on domestics . I sure appreciate Modelhaus . Don and Carol are such great people . Enjoy . Thanx
