glyn Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 All My latest effort. Wanted to do this for a while.Tried the Mr color SM02 gold which was very thick and did not seem to like thinners.I have mixed feelings about the result. _MG_5076 by Glyn Fuller, on Flickr _MG_5074 by Glyn Fuller, on Flickr _MG_5079 by Glyn Fuller, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

Tony Edmundson Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Very clean finish on that Sabre, Glyn. Can I ask a couple of questions; What decals/instructions did you use, as 23053 was not a Golden Hawks Sabre(it crashed in '54) but 23353 was. Secondly, did the instructions call for the red GH on the tail, as it was only used in '63 when the 'Hawks were flying the Sabre 6. Your gold colour seems spot on and will keep that in mind for my future GH builds. Model On !!!!! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Tony The decals were kit decals and yes the Gh on the tail was used later on but not necessarily on the mk 6.Done as per the instructions.There was the option of two periods and i did the later one.23053 was on the box art as well as the instructions.

Tony Edmundson Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks Glyn, '59 & '60 they flew Sabre 5s '61-'64 they flew Sabre 6s. The GH was only used in '63. Strange about the serial number usage, questionable Hasegawa research, I guess. Still, nice clean work on the spraying. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tony Tony I dug the instructions out of the bin to recheck. The scheme i have was from 1962 but no mention of sabre mk6.23053 was the number used.The box art has 23066 in pre GH on tail scheme of 1959. So like you say someone probably did not do the research correctly. Glyn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre 6 serials started at 23371 and up Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
