The models produced by Superior and later Alnavco began as the WWII ID models. Superior and then Alnavco both started "upgrading" the models so they no longer look as they originally did. I would be surprised if any of the current Alnavco offerings look the same as an original Comet model. They also started changing the ships names as given by Comet - usually to a sister ship name.
