AnonymousAA72 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 As we're dusting down some old models!!!! Here's one I built this one six or seven years ago - it the Academy kit in 1/48th. The 3 Sqn markings were made from parts of pre-painted decal sheets - this was before many commercial decals were available for 1/48th scale RAF Sabre F4's....

tonyot Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thats a very nice Sabre...well done! I`ve always liked 3 Sqn markings, especially on the Sabre. Hope you don`t mind me adding some `dusted off' models and hogging the forum somewhat? I just thought that there needed to be some new models to see as the same ones had been here for a while now.........plus I`ve been housebound for over a week and bored and finally worked out Photobucket to boot!

Cheers Tony O Don't bother me Tony - you dusting off models! Why would it? Go for it I say.....in fact I think we should have a section on here for "old models just dusted off!!" There's some corkers out there - as we've seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pielstick Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Very nice Bill. I always thought the Sabre was a very nice looking aeroplane and you've done it justice. I'd like to have a go at doing an RAF Sabre, but I know its a bit of a minefield and I have to dive into the research first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is that there are a few bod's on here that know their Sabre's, so you'll have a head start!! I've a couple of Sabre projects in the offing (as well as my 1/72nd scale project currently "In Progress!. These include a Hasegawa F4 in 1/48th and a Kinetic F4 in 1/32nd... Should keep me busy over the next year or so!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the box of the Italeri/Kinetic 1/32nd Sabre kit but the £40 price tag put me off despite the 112 Sqn sharks mouth on the decal sheet! Is it me or are Italeri kits rather expensive at the moment? Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony O The Kinetic boxing is a good £8 or £9 cheaper.....no RAF markings - but I can get around that! Though..is £40 expensive for a 1/32nd scale kit? I dunno.......

atdb27 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 That is rather umm nice Bill Nice skills of making before AM available. I have the 4 sets of (can't remember) RAF Sabres and this makes me think 'get on with it then' Interesting that you used the Academy '86. Got a couple of them as well as some Hase ones. Now once I get my 8 TSR2's out the way! Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
