Aigore Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hiyas, Back with another freehand cammo, this time it is an Asia Minor scheme on an Imperial Iranian Sabre. When I saw that High Decal was releasing decals for a cammo Sabre I just had to do it! Converted a japanese Sabre with the long wings and dropped the slats with a set from Kasl other than that I threw in a cockpit from Aires and wheel wells from CMK. Here's some pics Cheers! 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Great camouflage and excellent weathering. From what I can see of it, the cockpit looks very good. A Sabre looks good in just about any colors it can be painted in, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Really great looking Sabre. I like your paint and weathering job much. Do im right if i say that the iranian Sabres are Ex- Luftwaffe? Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Fantastic looking craft. Good camo job that really 'pops' with the black background. Well done. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx SAT69 inredd, but everything looks particularly great in a desert scheme! 4 hours ago, Harry Callahan said: Really great looking Sabre. I like your paint and weathering job much.

Iran had F-40 sabres from 1960 onwards and sold some to Ethiopia in the late 60's. 1 hour ago, ForestFan said: Fantastic! Thanx ForestFan 49 minutes ago, Courageous said: Fantastic looking craft.

Stuart Thanx Stuart I wasn't too familiar with lightroom yet when I edited the pics, they are slightly warm and I was a tad sloppy with the filters...but a great learning experience. I got it published in "Model Aircraft Monthly" if I'm allowed to brag about it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The Sabre looks great in IIAF camo, nice! That gives me ideas about building an Ethiopian Sabre (ex-IIAF machines in the same camo). Cheers Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Very nice F-86. I like the Iranian schemes. My F-5E is finished in a similar scheme I think, but nothing as good as this one, partly due to the smaller scale of mine, but mostly my lack of skill! Great job.
