EDCS87 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Wow 😮, this is a very hard scheme to get right from the available pictures of the real A/C, and I think you did an outstanding job! Could you share what colors you used? I hope to be able to build a FAA Sabre in this same scheme sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Wow, very nice colours - and a great paint job! Never seen one of those before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 This is one very impressive rendition of the famed Sabre. The Argentine colors and markings help make it stand out. Your attention to detail is to be commended. Take a well deserved bow!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habu12 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Love the colors on this! Great combo, well applied. Just needs some dirt! 👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Beautifully done. the finish is flawless and its great to see an unusual scheme. After looking at the cockpit I had to look twice to ensure it was 1/72 and not 1/48. Amazing detail. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 A really nice model. The painting job is outstanding and the colours look exactly as the real ones used at that period of the FAA. And one more thing: not every one takes into account the Sabre version used here in Argentina with slatted 6-3 wings, straight Pitot tube and proper fuel tanks. In 1/72 the only option is, precisely, Fujimi. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Superb Sabre! One of the best I think I have seen in 1/72 scale. I love the cockpit interior especially. Well done! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale85 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Love this scheme, i have the decals in 48th scale. Can i ask you which colors you've used for the camouflage? ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-309 and H-310 were then reworked with yellow and other green and sand colors from Gunze. The Book "Serie Fuerza Aera #16 F-86F-30 NA SABRE" is a precious help (especially the cover photo). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
