shortCummins Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 this is a kit I made last year? a while ago anyway It's the Eduard "Ultimate Sabre" offering which included their PE & resin and Cartograph decals. Various vallejo acrylic metal colors were used for the NMF... I've also loaded a "build log" slide-show on YouTube... [youtube]9vE9_TOe8L0[/youtube] until next time as always, any suggestions or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A beauty. There's some terrific natural metal finish work going on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Nice job! Did you mask and spray the yellow bands? If they're the decals from the kit then they have settled perfectly into the panel lines which is pretty awesome 👍🏿 Something I'm debating when it comes to mine...

Dazey Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi John, Lovely rendition of John Glenn's Sabre. It's also nice to know that the Vallejo acrylic metal paints behave so nicely. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Excellent Sabre and version of Glenns plane. 👍 Im a bit confused about the Aim-9's as they weren't carried operationally by the Sabre's until the later 1950's. And possibly Weren't in existence other than prototypes in 1952-53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Great result! I bet the decalling took some time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I found that out AFTER I fitted them as per Eduard's instructions, my own fault as I didn't do enough research 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did them over a couple of sessions, some of them are soon tiny it was hardly worth it. There's one that bugs me very time I look at it as its misaligned, EVERY TIME I look at the model its the first thing I see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
