petetasker Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Calling this one done - the new 1:48 Airfix Sabre in the boxed 4 Squadron option. Straps were stolen from an old Eduard F86 set I forgot I had. Paints were all airbrushed Humbrol Enamels, weathering was a mixture of dry brushing, a Flory black wash and Tamiya weathering pastels. Left the tanks off this one to show the lines of the airframe better. Loved the kit and build so much another two are on the bench plus a shed load of the new Eduard sets - 3 and another 4 Squadron machine next. Quite happy for any comments good or bad - hope it’s of interest. 56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Definitely of interest to me. The Sabre is one of my favourite jets and your model is a beautiful rendition of it. Nothing to criticize here, that is a stunner! Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 What the others have said....the Sabre is a beautiful weenie cooker in any colors and markings, but is even more so in the RAF scheme. Well done! What markings will the other two have? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolo Hi I did it as per the kit instructions if that’s what you are asking after reading a comment on here from @Sabrejetthat the kit markings for the 4 Sqn option were correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Edmundson Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 nice job, like the others had said; there's not much to critique here. The one thing I would have done is paint the wingtip/tail nav lights. Cheers, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markmcguire25 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 One of my favorite aircraft. I usually prefer them in metal finish, but yours is a definite exception. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo31 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I like it very much and the paintwork is really convincing. The model is still missing in my collection. I hope mine would only be as good as yours. Very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
