SPA Modeler

This was the little HB Sabre I been playing with off and on most of the year - brush painted with Revell Aqua paints and washed with Flory Models 'Grime wash'. I quite like the flory washes and may well get some more.

in the end I didn't add the tanks as it's a borderline tail sitter and they caused it to sit on it's arse. It's also the reason I left off the rams for the airbrakes.













Overall its okay, nothing special but I'm glad to have got it completed.

Cheers.

Excellent and brush painted metal to boot

Looks good. I know that kit very well and I know it is not as easy as it looks in the box. Some fitting issues...

Nice!!

Sweet Sabre Stuart!

That came out very sharp looking Stuart! Too bad that the drop tanks and speed brake pistons would make it a tail sitter.

Thanks All - glad you liked it!

Carlos - yeah it was a bit of a surprise given the amount of weight I added to nose! But I've never really liked the Sabre's tanks anyway so it wasn't much of a loss.

Yeah I was surprised actually, the fit of the undercarriage was appalling. Normally HB easy build kits are a lot easier.

Wow, magnificent! I built that very same bird, but I don't recall any issues with tail sitting. No worries, yours looks better anyway.

Well done, Stuart.

Well done mate.
