Thanks Gents - Yeah I think this is the best NMF I've brushed yet, I was pretty pleased with it. I like the effect the Grime was had too.
It's a nice little kit but I don't think I added enought nose weight. If it gets too bad I'll line the front U/C bay with foil and add some lead wire 'detail'.Duke Maddog wrote:Wow, magnificent! I built that very same bird, but I don't recall any issues with tail sitting. No worries, yours looks better anyway.

Re: Hobbyboss 1/72 Sabre
Wow, even after all this time, I still can't get over the fact that is brush painted. Man, I can't even airbrush a metal finish that good; or even get that kind of finish with a spray bomb; and here you are brush painting it to this level!
Time for me to quit metal planes.

Re: Hobbyboss 1/72 Sabre
lol! Thanks Mark - I can assure you it looks better in the photos than it does up close. Those Revel Aqua metallics are pretty damn good though.
