PhantomBigStu Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Hopefully will be able to get round to this at some point or lucky and pick up some colourful CF-18 decals for the kit I can't seem to sell Edited October 16, 2022 by PhantomBigStu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 That's a great looking scheme James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 I’m actually stupid, at no point in the hours I’ve spent looking at Sabre decals did it occur to me that as a Canadair product RAF sabres are elligible, so this jumps the queue, maybe I’ll get to the hawk once the sabres done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Now which kit (Airfix with Academy Canopy and Itajimi) and scheme? Edited July 8, 2022 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Picked the airfix and as it’s too hot to work at the bench and It made a nice dining room table built this late afternoon once I finally got the stencils put on my spitfire. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Great to see another Sabre in the GB, and yours will be the first finished at this rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 That's a heck of a lot of progress for an afternoon! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thanks to an off the cuff comment on another forum I might have just been inspired to make this a double build, changing the subject of the sabre and adding a spitfire to the mix, so watch this space. Commen theme is both aircraft have the same pilot, who commanded a Canadian wing during the war..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Well I've made a start on the spitfire so safe to says its happening and have amended the title that gives the game away. Spitfire will be his EN398. Got most of the decal will just have to home print the micro serials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Kits the new tool as, which I’ve had some problems with building the pink one I got this boxing for, in the end binned it and am taking precautions (slotting the interior into an already join fuselage) so I shouldn’t have a repeat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I’m afraid not worked on these and events have forced my hand, had to borrow the canopy from the spit for another build and whilst I have a spare it’s for the MkVii so instead that will go into my long term box, I do hope to get the sabre done though It won’t be Jonnie Johnsons one now.

PhantomBigStu Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Decals on, nearly entered a spitfire last Friday but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle and spend given I’ve done/are doing a lot of spitfires lately Edited October 14, 2022 by PhantomBigStu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
