Complete!

While far from perfect, the results are acceptable.

And a few photos of the real thing...the Vintage Wings of Canada Sabre 5 / 6. This airframe was an original Golden Hawk aircraft.

Thanks for letting me play. And to all the other participants of this build, well done boys!

Superbly finished brother! Looks a treat. A question though if I may? The flying shot from above shows a NMF leading edge on the main wings. Was this for that scheme or should it also apply to your scheme?

Looks the goods though regardless.

Regards

Andrew :thumbsup:

Thanks for the encouragement 'Drew.

The silver, or natural metal, on the slats and leading edge varied from year to year. The current screen saver I have shows a flight of Sabre Mark 5's with the wing fence and no silver on the wings. I've seen others painted and configured like the real Sabre in the thread. I went with the easiest thing...no silver or polished aluminum or whatever. I could have masked and gone with the polished aluminum but I figured, why bother. One less thing to mask and paint.

Be safe, brother.
