Any progress on the Sabre, Mike?

I have been fiddling around on mine, but nothing much. Still waiting on a couple of am parts to arrive.

 Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

You have got this ..It's no secret I love a nice Sabre in any config.

   Pulling up a chair ..

 

PS:  And why oh why haven't we seen a proper well molded Sabre kit with in box options for earlier variants including a "V" windscreen.

Still waiting.

Good show!

Yes, there has been some progress, and I’ll post a pic this evening. But, I must admit I’ve been cheating on this build as I have a mistress build going on. It’s the Airfix 1/24 Hellcat. My darling wife surprised me with it!

Nice. You're wife has good taste in models.

Here's a snapshot my build in its current state. It's been ready to be painted for a couple of weeks now, but as I mentioned above I have another build going that has been taking time from this build. 

I plan on using Alclad aluminum for the NMF. It'll be my first attempt using Alclad for the overall finish, so there's going to be a learning curve on using it over large areas. Definitely be doing some Googling for tips. I've also completed and painted the canopy plus I've reshaped the wing tank fins and have those painted as well. I get pics of those posted on my next update.

 

Thanks for following along,

Mike
