First time post here. Worked on this one for a while(2 moves and long stretch between moves). I was asked to build this for a display that is being assembled at 15 Wing in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It's the Academy 1/48th kit with Leading Edge decals. A little bit of scratch building in the cockpit but that's about it. Fun kit!

Nice Job!!! What kit is it?
The Sabre stands a favorite with me. I used to watch them at Namao airshows as a kid.

Thanks Guy,
It's the Academy kit (1/48th). Lucky you to have had a chance to see the entire team fly! I was lucky enough to see the rebuilt Hawk One fly and in static display and I was awestruck by how amazing it was. Seeing the whole team would probably make me pee my pants with excitement!

Much Thanks Vance! Never built the Hasegawa so I can't compare it to anything other than the old Monogram kit.
