Joel_W Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Janne, Just an outstanding camo paint scheme. I'm just not use to seeing a Sabre wearing one, as they're usually NMF. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Scaremonger Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 What a nice paint work, Janne! Your Sabre looks teasing to me! Sexy... I had removed the nozzle for cleaning and held the airbrush in one hand...reached for something on the floor with my off hand and some how moved my hand holding the AB to support me while reaching and pressed the tip into a glass jar rather heavily. Oh, so in other words we could agree that you've broken the needle tip on your airbrush just goofing around... :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 A small update today I´ve been bettering the paint and then done a post shade with the lighter versions of the cammo colors and finished with a quick polish with 4000 grit pads. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 And a little update today too :D Painted the belly in FS36622 and it´s a hard edge between bottom and top side colors. Handpainted the little gun radar dome. And finished with the fin tip UHF antenna Tomorrow I´ll clear coat it :D Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Simply gorgeous Janne! Can't wait to see her coated and with the markings applied Please note that the IIAF Sabres had standard "USAF" maintenance stencils ( a.o. the red circles denoting fuel valves, etc) applied. Interstingly,when transferred to the IEAF, "red" stencils were deleted (like the turbine warning stripe) or overpainted in black ( the red "fuel" circles on fuselage and wings)...

Photos of former IIAF Sabres in Ethiopian service (and later during restoration) show the inside of undercarriage doors in aluminium, as well as "dark" (green) airbrake weels on the rear fuselage. Therefore it would be safe to assume that the wheel weels were also painted in dark green. However, many late Sabres (like D/K, for example) had the bottom of the wheel weels painted in a dark green similar to the one used on the antiglare panel of NMF IIAF examples, instead of the 1950s "interior green". As IIAF Sabres were overhauled in Israel in the mid 1960, I guess that the "dark green" would be even more probable...

Aigore Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) No gloss coat today...decided to paint the wheel wels and air brake wells instead. First some generous masking... And then I painted dark green per Diegos instructions :P/> Now it´s ready for a gloss coat :D/> Cheers! Edited August 17, 2016 by Aigore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
