[Wayne Little]

I don't know what I'm doing this weekend, It's my first one off in a month! I'll give you a buzz closer to the day.
I noticed some differances with our decals for SH-K, I wonder which one is more accurate??

Ok Andy...

.....e-mail inbound about the decals mate.

Heres a couple of progress shots of the Academy 1/48th scale Sabre build. The model is painted, and decaling is underway. I've adapted the kit decals to produce an anonymous F86F of the 51st F.I.W. in Korea, rather than portray one of the 'aces', as shown on the decal sheet.

Looks great Terry!

 

[Wayne Little]

Excellent Terry!

 

[109ROAMING]

Nice work Terry ,liking the checker tail!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps! I hedged my bets on the yellow stripes; in case the decals didn't position properly, I painted the yellow stripes on before spraying the NMF, then masked them. I thought that, if the decals wouldn't fit, then at least I could re-mask and do the black cheat lines, and if they did fit, I'd have a yellow undercoat. Fortunately, they went on without too much trouble, although they are a bit thick (unusual for Academy, I thought) and I need to touch in here and there. Only problem, I got the diagonal ones slightly out of place, but don't look too close and you won't notice!

nice terry, did you paint the checker tail or are they decal's ?

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Karl. The checks are decals, which again are slightly out of place according to the diagram, but right according to the shape of the decals! I did do a bit of retouching on the black though.

[Wayne Little]

[Wurger]

[Airframes]

Thanks guys! The Sabre's in 'the hangar' at the moment, as I want to get the Gustav finished, and Part One of the Diorama Guide done and posted. But I'll post some more progress shots soon.
Terry.

 

[109ROAMING]

Cool!

 

[Catch22]

Very nice work Terry!

 

[Wildcat]

Here's a progress shot of my Buffalo. The colours are foliage green and OD, which don't look quite right under the camera flash.

 

[Airframes]

Very neat mate! See what you mean about the effects of the flash, but it still looks good.

 

[Heinz]

Andy she looks great

The lines on the windscreen frame are very sharp! Well done!!

 

[109ROAMING]

You make awesome models Andy!

Nice work!
