Hello gents!
Pete - thank you for your kind words my friend!
I was was always interested in a 'cold war jets / early jets' but it was a tough choice which one I should choose.
I wanted something easy, with a lot of different painting schemes and a bit of history... and here I am with Sabre
All my developments are based on quality photos and good scale drawings from Japan (Bunrindo, Kantosha).
I am working on 'late Sabre' (F-86F-30, Sabre Mk.5) so I can use 6-3 wing with no slats to keep it easy for now, but I should be able to backdate it to E + A versions later on.
Please see the cabin cover done (front bit needs some adjustments) and the segment with guns.
After the designing bit got done, playing with gradient was a nice thing to do.
By the way, to keep the things simple most of the details will be done after the 3D/2D development.
I haven't decided on painting scheme yet, but there is going to be a 'civilian one' and the USAF from Korea.
