Reini78 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 #6/2023 After the Cuban T-33, my dad continues with the Latin American subjects. Airfix Canadair F4 kit with Aztec decals. The white weapons block on the left nose side isn´t provided by Aztec, made a rectangle with decal stripes. Also the nose gear front cover number isn´t provided, used a number decal from the sparesbox. MB Mk.10 resin seat from PJ Productions. Painted with Tamiya XF-57 Buff, Gunze H303 FS34102, Gunze H309 FS34079 and Tamiya White. Well, the kit is no Tamigawa, molding and fit in some areas could be better and it has the Airfix typical "crude" panel lines. But all in all it goes together without major problems. Added a little plastic rod between fuselage and rear area of the canopy to have a better stabilization for the open canopy. Special thanks to fellow Britmodellers Martin Williams and Alex Sosa for providing some useful pics. Alex Sosa is from Honduras and his father served with the FAH and flew the Sabre.

Initially they were painted in a 2-tone sand/green upper camo and came with the original NAA seat. After an incident/accident with one of these seats, they were replaced with Martin Baker seats, as it looks on pics Mk10. During the years the planes were repainted in a SEA like camo scheme and towards their service life end in 1986 they looked very worn with faded, washed out and chipped paint.
