Here is my Academy 1/72 Sabre in the colors of USAF Korea 1952. It is a nice little kit ,good fit and detail. I rather like the seperate slats for the wings.
The only real hassle was the decals that were slightly out of register on the star/bars.
I opted to paint on the wing and fuselage bands, with mixed results.
Alclad airframe allu, dark allu and pollished allu ware used over gloss primer sanded with 12000 pads.
