[Deisenaut]

Nothing exciting yet - only a few pic's, the engine before it is buried and just after priming. A good bit of filling and sanding to be done!

Very nice Mike, I'll be watching this one. Many years ago I made the Monogram version of this plane, which wasn't a bad kit... in the 70's!

Cheers

[mossiepilot]

Just gotta convince the SWMBO that modelling IS "man jobs" Hee Hee. Good luck mate.

And the Sabre is looking great, the paint work is first rate.

So far, every single decal has ripped, moved or unstuck - complete nightmare
