Troll Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Very nice! Are the decals from the kit? Jorgen "Troll" Toll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 No! My bad... The decals are from the norwegian company "Vingtor decals" Thanx for the comment!! FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troll Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 No! My bad... The decals are from the norwegian company "Vingtor decals" Thanx for the comment!! FO Ok! I thought maybe Revell updated the decals in their re-boxing. I have the Academy kit in my stash, with the same Vingtor decals. You did the decals great justice! No silvering that I can see... Very nice. Do you have a good reference of the full-size? Jorgen "Troll" Toll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hey Jorgen! How is the Academy kit? does it contain the long 6-3 wing? Finding good references of the RNoAF Sabres is quite hard. So all I had while working on it was the profile on the decal instruction sheet and a few pictures of the Sabres on the museum on Gardermoen and in Bodø. In the end, just before I finished i got one picture of a Ørland-bird, it was helpfull to show if panel-lines were prominently showing on the lightning flash! This picture were published on the IPMS Norway forum page. Are you a member there? FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troll Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I really should be a member of the IPMS chapter...but I'm not. Maybe I should do something about that i 2012 ;-) The Academy kit is very nice! However, it has the early wing without slats. I haven't thought about that. Were all RNoAF Sabres fitted with slatted wings? Jorgen "Troll" Toll Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK974 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 A few more pictures, I have now attached the missing fuel-dump and I am almost finished with a little GPU as company for Tom..... FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolaas Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 A very nice Sabre indeed! What paint did you use? It came out beautifully! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK974 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanx for the compliment! I used Tamiya TS-30 for the silver color, and GW Fortress Grey for the grey on the wings. The black on the tail is cheap black from the convinient store and in the pit I have used a mix of Vallejo, Tamiya and GW... FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
