Courageous Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 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.

chrisov Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Not sure if your looking at 1/72 or 1/48 but there were 1/48 models and conversions (by Redroo?) Based on the Academy 1/48 F-86 and a new injection moulded fuselage. Also for the RAF version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hi Chris, I build in 1/72 nowadays and I have a number of Tasman conversion sets together with enough Sabre kits to shake a hairy stick at. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
