CamberrySauce Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi all, I've this kit finished for quite a while but I only just got round to photographing it. The kit was alright, filler was unfortunately required in the usual places such as the wing roots and where the bottom of the fuselage meets meets the lower wing section. Painted in my usual way using Vallejo Model Air paints followed by a panel wash with some chalk pastel gun smoke exhaust stains. Constructive criticism is very much welcome (I know the front wheel is wonky, I'll need to fix that. Also I broke the pitot tube and the antenna so I'm trying to find an adequate replacement) -Cam 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hello there! forget about a wonky wheel or a missing pitot, this Sabre if downright smashing! Great paint job, and a beautiful scheme. The Italians do know how to make things look great, from a Maseratti to a pannetone... and somewhere in between we find a Sabre. This is the same scheme I am going to finish my kit with. Well done JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Very nice. It looks like the start of this year is festooned with Sabres. Can't be bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, of course, those Italian roundels do look a lot more sunny... ;-) Edited January 26, 2018 by ivand 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmarx Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi Cam, really a good job! Just one note, Italian Sabres never carried any bombs, IIRC. Ciao. Davide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thye got replaced by the Hunter as the Sabres were really a stand in while the Hunter got sorted out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
