- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Oh yeah - that looks the part. :thumbsup:

Does indeed. In a few years time photos of the finished model will be going around the Web as evidence that the IAF did in fact have Sabres  :angel:

Thank you all! I'm quite pleased with it.

Today she gets weathering and the detail paint work done then fiddly bits then one last coat of clear and that's a wrap! Should be able to finish it today I'm guessing but we all know how that goes!    Famous last words and all....

It kind of works like a dazzle scheme   :thumbsup:
Whatever.

TheChronicOne

Thank you, both!



This is now done. The one week build has taken 3 months.  ;D    But, hey, I didn't give up.  :lol:


Back story..... uhhh.... so what if the Indians in this period of time were making use of old Sabres? (I know, that's weak as hell  ;D   I'm not the best at back stories sometimes.)     BUT..... Jim is right..... "Sabre Duels" sounds fun.

That looks VERY good Brad.

It screams 'INDIA' at you, and it's not just the roundels either, it's the whole look of the thing.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
