Well here's the pics of the finished Matchbox Sabre. I needed a diversion from the Javelin as i was getting a little bogged down and finding it hard to get myself into the den to do it. The Mojo needed some rejuvenation so i pulled this out of the stash and decided to get involved in a little group build going on over on Farcebook! Somebody gave this kit to me way back at the beginning of the ninety's and to be honest, i never thought it would get built but i really enjoyed doing it and i'm sure it will look alright in the display cabinet with the others! I didn't go too mad with detailing on it, leaving the air frame unaltered apart from shaping the fairing in front of the windscreen and grinding the wings and tail planes down to make them look thinner and a little more refined at the trailing edges, which meant rescribing but it wasn't a big job. The cockpit was the only place i really did something with, making some basic detail for it. For me this was a fast build as i normally take ages to get my models done and that's not because i'm the fastidious sort, i'm just bloody slow i think! Anyway, i hope you like it and goes to show you can enjoy a simple build! Thanks for looking! John
