CAC Avon Sabre Mk.30


Courageous

Recommended Posts

After the recent completion of my latest F-86E Sabre, it's time to look towards my next Sabre build, a CAC Avon Sabre Mk30. I have been searching 'intweb' and forums for those elusive colour details and although I have numerous external pics, I have no 'internal pics for the Mk30. So my questions are:

 

Cockpit. Did the Mk.30 ever have a black cockpit like the F-86E and early F's as all I've seen is the grey cockpit?

Airbrake. Internal face of airbrake door- Aluminium? Compartment colour aluminium or green?

Wheel wells. I can see that the inner faces of the doors were aluminium, what about the wells?

Does anybody know of a good reference book for Avon Sabres, can @Sabrejet, @Tony Edmundson or others help?

Merry Christmas to you all.
