Hi here is a pic of the partially decaled Saber. More pics will follow later this week.

looks good Dave. I like the decals and the shiney siver behind the blue decals makes it

Very nice Dave just makes me wish i could turn out models like that
All the Oinking best

What a piece of junk! That Taska Panzer II is just a crappy model.

Oh the plane looks nice Dave!

Hi Dave

Very nice! :-) I've yet to tackle a n/m aircraft... what did you use for the siver finish?

Looking forward to see more pics. Once all the decals are on and dry, are you going to weather things a bit ? Some washes would really make the panel lines pop out. :-)

All the best

That looks real cool dave i love the natural metal finish.
One question, What country are the decals for?

Nice winged thingy Dave! Can't beat blue and white on NMF

looks nice! :-)
a little bit too shiny..but I think is the flash effect...

Well what can be said but a great job from an expert modeler. Nice finish is this Allclad paint?
I see China air force am I correct?
Great job Dave.
So what else do you have the Elves working on? (:-) (++)
Or all a nice little plane for the show.
Speaking of shows are their any model shows in HK Dave?

Nice lookin' Dave. I like the contrast of the NMF and the blue.

I've got a 1/48 P-51 and a 1/32 P-47 that will be getting the same treatment. Fingers crossed.

Great bird Dave !
After a little wash it will be outstanding !

Lord Lens:

Besides succesfully building the model, the decal application portion of this bird looks to be a challenge in of itself!

Once done, Da Sabre, along with "Da Phantom Menace", and "Da Raider", will be an impressive terrible trio.

Of all the modeling skills you have shown in the past, (including the horse, robot, Bismark dio), you seem to shine the most with the wingy thingy's.

Very very good looking effort here.

Dave, what can I say?

Looks great so far, make sure to post the end result on here!

Beautiful finish, I don't see any construction issues at all in the pic. One thing, thoug, and I know this is really tough to correct, but it appears the carrier film still shows around the roundels and the checker stripe.

WOw! What did you use to make that shiny metal look? Very convincing.

Geeze Dave that's one nice looking finish. I stay away from that shiny stuff as it's too hard to cover mistakes with paint!!!

Doesn't look like the box art at all
Don't you just hate that? You buy a kit because you love the way the box art looks and when you get home and assemble it, it looks nothing like the picture on the box!

Seriously, The Sabre looks great.
Wonderful work on the metal finish and the weathering looks fantastic. Very realistic.
You are a master of your art , Lord Dave. You have a special gift for aircraft

I have to agree w/herr Sel.
Next time read the instructions when building the kit.Look at what you did!
