Sabre is 70% done

finally my Sabre is 70% done...all it needs are clear coat, decals, clear coat, then weathering (which I'm looking forward to using the pastel wash method for the panel lines hehe) then she's done...

still have to wait for some of the minor retouches of the paint to dry that way it will blend with the older paint then off to coat it with Tamiya's Clear...if doesn't rain by tomorrow, by Sunday plane will be decalled and by Monday finished with the weathering...hehehe

Updates on the Sabre

finally painted the camo on the Sabre...used Tamiya Paints...a mixture of RAF Ocean Grey and Dark Grey for the uppersides instead of barley, undersides would be RAF Medium Sea Grey and Olive Green instead of Dark Green...this would also be the 1st time I airbrushed freehand a camo paint...

 that green aft of the dive break is just an improvised camo, it should not be there but since I kinda messed up on the freehand, instead of ruining the ocean grey I just added an extra green strip

the only reference I had for the camo

painted the exhaust with my own mix of chrome silver and metallic grey

and here are the results of my preshade...although not that much, was afraid that it might look too much dirty...
