That is a cool Sabre, wit al those different colours. Is it going to a shark mouth like on the first picture?

Hy, Thanks for yours comments. In a few days I put the shark mouth, I have to buy micro Set for snug to the shape of the plane.
Two Sabres were painted with the mouth, but the base commander doesn't like the idea and ordered remove. There are only two photos of the model. removed one of them in to two days, but the other, the ground crew takes me several months to get this decoration.
Regards,

Guille

That is one, good-looking airplane. Cool.

Very nice! Can't wait to see you add the shark teeth.

Guille, if MicroScale Set is hard to get you also could use some water. Just add a few drops of vinegar.

If MS Set is not at hand MS Sol also works below and later on top of a decal. I stopped using MS Sol on a futured glossy surface because it makes matte blind spots. I only use MS Sol now which has no effect to the glossy surface. No problems applying decals with MS Sol only.

Thomas, vinager into the water or paint the decal zone and apply the decal?
My problem are the machine guns hole in the nose, the decals dont have the holes.... that is my fear, but any problem apply red or white paint.
