Silver Fox Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I got this little beauty at Tyneside Model show from those nice chaps at MJW and though it has been a bit of a cinderella whilst I concentrated on family matters and holidays,a few days at home got me to this. I did her straight from the box and if I had my time again I think I would have got some replacement wheels as the Hasegawa ones are split vertically and are a fiddly job to fill and sand. The finish is a mix of Halfords, Humbrol and Tamiya rattle cans. She is basking in the South Yorkshire sunshine Thank you for looking 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Look's a real winner and nice to see a non yellow ID striped scheme too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thank you all for the kind comments. I was going to do one of the yellow striped options on the kit decal sheet but Spencer Pollard posted on here and said those markings were for an E model not a hard winged F as in the kit. I checked up and was right, so thanks to him I didn't do a duff scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijs302 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 A very nice sabre great nmf I can't believe it's from rattle cans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 ijs302, with the exception of the interior of the cockpit and the tyres it is all from rattle cans: Halfords grey undercoat, polished back with fine sanding pads, then four different metallic sprays and the red is an Audi red from Halfords.
