ron Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This one is wrapped up. The build can be seen here "Link" Comments good or bad always welcome Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Nice build, Ron! Nice paint work! May I ask if you intend to weather her so as the rivet lines to be more visible? ;) Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jr_rules2 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 What a beauty Ron!!! You really overcame the kit's shortcomings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Fabulous work, Ron! Love the paintwork. Those decals went on beautifully as well. No silvering whatsoever. Always great to see a Canadian bird! :) Keep it up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anotherP51nut Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That is beautiful Ron! No evidence of the wrestling you had to do to tame the kit. The Sword just looks "right" in RCAF camouflage and markings...especially 441 Squadron...and you captured it perfectly. Cheers, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've always liked that camo on the sabre. Well done Ron! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Very nice Ron , I think "Bad Tony" should do that one for his next Sabre. 441 had the right initials and everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well, well, appearently all the hard work was well worth the effort !!! She turned out rather nice. "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks all. I am happy with how it turned out Nice build, Ron! Nice paint work! May I ask if you intend to weather her so as the rivet lines to be more visible? Cheers! Alexander. I did give it a light oil wash of paynes grey. I think I'll leave it at that. I don't think they let them get to grubby back in the day. Fabulous work, Ron! Love the paintwork. Those decals went on beautifully as well. No silvering whatsoever. Always great to see a Canadian bird! :unsure: Keep it up! Thanks Jamie, the leading edge decals are a really good product. They react well to micro set and sol.

stsok9 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Very Nice build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nice work Ron, too bad you did it in 441 markings. We Lynx's were so much better than those "Silver Somethings." Even in the Sabre days I bet. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Good looking Canadian Sabre! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Looks good, something to consider when I build mine! Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ron: Great looking Sword. As for weathering...very little please! The RCAF kept those birds very clean and that is why it only took one CDN Sabre to surround a flight of Sabre Dogs :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thankt for the nice comments all, Weathering? it's done, that's all it's getting. I wanted it clean as well ROn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcfay Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Ron - great build, and I think the weathering is perfect too. Thanks JON Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barneydhc82 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 See what you have started...now I'm working on the Hasegawa 1:32 Sword 6 in Golden Hawks finish. AMS is supplying the seat...Thanks for the tip Ron! Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
