Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 21 hours ago, Tony Edmundson said: is it too late to use the other nose wheel from the kit, the Sabre 6 was rarely seen with the 'teardrop spoked' wheel. I cemented the wheel in place minutes after that photo was taken. However, I have managed to remove it! Thanks for the pointer, Tony. For future reference, does that apply to other Canadair Sabres? I really fancy building a IV Sqn RAF Sabre Mk 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I wasn't aware of the differences - will have to check which one I need for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 to @zebra for hosting this excellent groupbuild. Unfortunately this build has sent me into a bit of an F-86 frenzy. Moving onto the workbench today is this... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to go straight into another Canadair Sabre build but I need to resist and crack on with my other builds - not to mention all the builds I have planned for the megaGB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Great work Enzo, a fantastic end result. The box art on that Hasegawa Sabre has been tempting me for sometime now too. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a natural metal scheme from the 391 FBS, 366 FBW. This has a white fin and tailplane with red, yellow and blue candy stripes. There are matching bands around the nose and wing tanks. I first built this scheme four decades ago using the 1/72 Heller kit and Microscale decals. Time for another shot at it. This one will give me the opportunity of building an early(ish) Sabre with bombs under the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Sounds like a very nice choice, Enzo James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
