Courageous Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hi all, thought I'd put a place marker for this GB, it'll keep Martin @RidgeRunner off my back . I'm hoping to get a few Sabres built and I'm going to start off with an F-86E(M) Sabre for the Honduran Air Force using the Airfix 1/72 kit. The box. The plastic sprues. Glazing sprue. A 3D printed Martin Baker Mk.10 ejection seat. Kit decals and Aztec decals. Originally, the Honduran Sabres were built as Canadair CL-13 Mk.4's for the Yugoslavian Air Force and in 1976 these were acquired and sent to the US for an upgrade to convert them into a F-86E(M)'s. It was also at this time that the Sabres were fitted with Martin Baker Mk.10 ejection seats (thanks Martin @RidgeRunner). I need to complete a GB build first before I start this, so watch this space.

RidgeRunner Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Nice, Stuart. A great subject and one I have done previously but plan to do again. I will also build the early FAB machine for a build too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 A cracking choice, was a bit surprised when I saw the MB Mk 10 seat, but then read on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart I hope so, Stuart . I recall - I think - that the wing fences need to be re-positioned on the Airfix kit, Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Got to follow this one. A @Courageous Sabre build, wouldn't miss that, plus one of @RidgeRunners South American GB's, double pleasure. Get those wing fences moved inboard Stuart, and the pylons too! Looking forward to watching this one come together. T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
