PhantomLover Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 This is my ESCI Super Sabre in 1/48th scale. It's not the best model kit ever produced.. In fact, there are lots of inaccuracies, but still I enjoyed this build, especially finishing in the colours of the Danisch Airforce, which gives a lot of chances for weathering. I used an ejection seat from the spares box, since the original seat from ESCI is a joke. Also I made a new pitot tube from brass tubing. The ladder is from a Monogram kit, as well as the Bullpup missile. I read that Danish Huns were Bullpup compatible, so I decided to use one. The wing fences were cut out of evergreen, and only yesterday did I read that Danish aircraft didn't have them.. Well, here are the pictures: Kind regards, Gerben 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right Gerben. In fact there was a number of differences. Nevertheless it is a nice build Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Absolutely stunning! Hard to believe it's the old Esci kit! I do love the well worn and heavily faded Danish aircraft and must try one soon...either '100 or '104. The heat scorched rear is sublime and the faded overall finish is just brilliant. Thanks for sharing 👍👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 That's a great result from such a terrible kit. The area around the airbrake housing almost made me give up modelling Really well done 👏 👏 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
