Schweeeeet! It's a corker of a 'plane, from a period we still know little about. I've been studying military history for years now, and there's surprisingly little about it, when you compare it with , say, the Vietnam war, or the other big arguments in the last 90 years. There are a couple of good films about the ground war though.

[Guest]

That looks great, Tony. I love the NMF.

[Gern]

Beautiful.

[Guest]

Beautiful build! Love those decals

[tanktrack]

the sabre is 1 of my favourite planes and you have built 1 to a great standard

[yak face]

Very nicely finished Tony, you need to build my favourite Sabre now, the so called Super Sabre, cannot remember it's number, old age..... ops:

Cheers Graham , seen as you mention it...



this ones been proceeding under the radar , its the excellent monogram 1/48 , I'm hoping to try out a new top secret method for the heat staining ! all will be revealed soon (if it works -- if not ,forget you ever saw this!!!) cheers tony

[Guest]

That's the chap. I fell in love with the one they have at The Midlands Air Museum, Coventry Airport and yes, the heat staining comes well up the fuselage. Stunning aircraft.

Looks great. I might be tempted to get one myself now I've seen yours.

[geegad]

wow and wow again love the metal look and those decals really make it pop especially the dragon top stuff

Tony, sorry I missed this one mate. Had a look through your build as I really want to get involved in one or two of the group builds this year.


Funnily enough I'm torn between a couple of options for the Korean War and I'll be posting a thread shortly so would like your input, incidentally one of them is academy's 1/48 the huff!


Anyhow this is a real beauty mate I absolutely love it, this scheme is a cracker. Well let's be honest it's got a freeking dragon on it!


Great build

Excellent Sabre Tony,awesome job getting those decals to lay in so tight and crisp! Very nicely done Sir!

[Geordie]

Beautiful job Tony. You really did this stunning aircraft justice.

Brilliant finish Tony, I made peg models of this aircraft after watching a war film where Mickey Rooney was a rescue helicopter pilot who wore a top hat, or did I dream that?
