phantom Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 If your going to paint up one Sabre you might as well save money and finish up the other one. 1/48 Hasegawa with Leading Edge decals for 421 squadron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well, considering the amount of aftermarket you used, and 1/72 not being your favorite scale (I think?), this is looking excellent! I don't see a whole lot wrong with it, apart from the issues you already mentioned. Could it be that the gun is hanging a bit low to the ground because the landing gear is angled not quite right? Definitly one to be proud off! yeah thanks! I was getting nervous cause it didn't seem anyone liked it. Critique corner wasn't the place for it apparently. The gun sits low because of being a resin replacement and I wanted it to be able to turn still. I re-cut it off and re-mounted it so it sits higher but is still a tad low. I'm fine with it. I definitely try not to do 1/72 too often since it's small and am proud of this effort. Just not happy with the few things that turned out ugly. Beauty Sabres Phantom.

Stefan buysse Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi, Great stuff around here, guys. Here's my M-60A3. The driver's vision blocks attracted the "mud" I was spraying onto the model like magnets. I painted them black again as I'm pretty sure he would have wiped these clean now and then. :D Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Great M60A3, Stefan! I really like the mud/dust effect on the tracks and surrounding area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
