I don't know when I will be able to start because I would like to finish the LRDG Set first ..

Best regards

Great to see this Sabre WIP thread Patrice. The Matchbox Sabre is a lovely kit and I’m sure you will make a great job of it. 

Cheers, welcome aboard and best of luck.. Dave

Bonjour Patrice,

 

your build has jolted my memory, as I had completely forgotten that I had built this kit in my younger years. 

I did choose the Arizona ANG scheme and I loved it.

It is still in France, no doubt gathering tons of dust in its cabinet...

 

Have fun!

Hi Patrice 

Have you had a chance to make a start on your Sabre yet ?

Cheers Pat

Good afternoon Pat 

   Unfortunately at the moment I don’t have much time to spend on modelling and I would like to finish the ArmaHobby Mustang before I start another build ...

 

Best Regards 

Patrice

Good evening All

Yesterday I managed to start this build

 

I placed some Eduard seat belts on a Heller seat

On a Heller bathtube I glued a stick and placed an Eduard instrument panel

I also glued together the upper and lower wings
