Constructive criticism : Looks very nice but the Intake/Exhaust covers will not be installed while the pilot looks busy going somewhere . ( small thing ) Just a matter of realism

Completely agree, Christian.

It was always going to have the FOD covers on, the pilot was a last minute thing; I was nearing the end of the build when we moved house, in the turmoil my etch seatbelts managed to make a successful bid for freedom and that cockpit looks awfully bare without some detail. So abra-cadabra, one rushed & badly painted pilot figure !!

Great save Ian! I see what you mean about the nose colour.

Your FOD covers, it's one of those :facepalm moments when the ground crew forgot to take them out........!!!

 

[MrT]

Well finally some top cover!

Looks good!

Hmmmm, bid for freedom ? I like the term Awol myself . Just spent three day ( off and on ) looking for a throttle Quadrant that was basically under my nose .

Something that I would like to see sometimes would be run up guards on the intake and a crew chief doing run up checks . You think someone would have done that before. :hmmm

Think I'll just stick to props and empty seats

The finished Sabre turned out great!

You can count on it, Les. I've had enough of NMF for a (very) long time. Won't be seeing any Alclad near my bench for a while !! - Thanks for the comment and to everyone else here. It's been a h*ll of a journey, think for my next "Wesendorf Field" project I'll find something a whole lot easier...

...and maybe British !!
