That's just plum lovely !!

is the F-86F Sabre a Hasegawa or Academy kit. Fujimi never made a 1/48 Sabre AFAIK.

Does NOT ship to Canada ?????

The dual seat bay is smaller and much different. There are images on page 13 of the Verlinden Lock-On book on the ‘104

plain old dark green, I use MM FS34095. Your photos have some sun bleaching of the green. i wouldn't sweat it too much Tony

Take good look at the side windows on these windscreens, there is a definite difference in the angle of the front section, that is how to tell the different windscreens at a difficult photo orientation. Tony

both of those photos clearly show the Vee shaped windscreen !! Tony

Ben Hall's Sabre restoration had a Vee shaped windscreen all the time, and the aircraft still does to this day. One of your images is of a video game skin. Tony

I already told Draw Decal about the wing mistake, he probably will do nowt about it Tony

this book has a lot of pics of Ben Hall's restoration and tons of photos of when the aircraft was in the UK as G-SABR

no, there is no news from Raymond since the Oct announcement of the latest delay in tooling startup. it is not a licence issue, it is a Kinetic economic issue Tony

Ha ha, that's a good one !!!!!

licencing is NOT the issue, how many times must this be said !!!!! Tony

this is better off in the 'Bad Traders' column That is what it is for.

Used the excellent Vingtor decals and some RedRoo drop tanks. Fashioned the 'sugar scoops' from heated plastic card and camera ports from plastic strip; Bare Metal Foil used on the thinned out slats with the step in the slat well eliminated. Afew niggles happened with the tank striping but I put it down to my own 'ham fistedness'
