Here’s my entry for this GB, an Airfix 1/48 Canadair Sabre F4: As the title probably gives away, I’m planning on building this as a Golden Hawks Sabre using these decals from Leading Edge: They’re actually for Mk5 or Mk6 Sabres, but I think the Mk4 was near enough identical to the Mk5, other than the engine? Although I’m sure someone far more knowledgeable about Sabre variants could probably tell me if that’s true? Either way, this isn’t intended to be a slavishly accurate build, more a fun one that’ll be a bit different to the norm (which seems to be my thing if my other builds are anything to go by). Sprue shots, to show it’s not started yet: Other than the decals, I think this one’s going to be OOB. I need to finish my Do 217 for the Do 17 family GB before I start this (and probably a couple of other builds as well), so expect a start towards the end of July. James

My first proper, fresh 2018 build. (the Aussie one a close second!) Basically Hobbycraft kit and leading Edge Decals. Corrected airbrakes by reshaping the lower edges to brake and opening. Everything else as per kit but LEM Decals. GOLD paint was AK Extreme Metallics airbrushed... nice to use but not sure if its the right shade of Gold for the GH aircraft. But It looks fine enough for me. what do you think? Golden Hawk Sabre 23465. And, to close tonights multi posting.... All three of my most recent completions for 2018.... so far. PS Big thanks to Julien for helping out with spare RCAF decals from the kit... much appreciated Whats next, not sure. I am having a bit of a Sabre fest( there are a fair few appearing here lately..) and have come across one of my Monochrome boxings with two kits inside to 1/144th. Hard wing Sabres with fences. and I have a couple sets of CanMilair decals to use so maybe those ... or I will get on with one of my Phantoms... See ya for now.
