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

Cheers Graham , seen as you mention it... View attachment 247982

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


Phil

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?

F-100 often seen in SVN skies, impressive afterburner & four 20mm cannon.
