Very nice Sabre, an icon, and you brought her to live with a beautiful clean paint- and decal job.
Some black and white magic as reward

Beautiful Sabre! Such an elegant aircraft.   How was the build?

[Clunkmeister]

Jerry, I'd say this is easily the nicest finish I've ever seen you do.  You're definitely got the NMF nailed.  GORGEOUS, man!!

Thanks TJ.  Build wasn't to bad.  Plastic is a bit thick.  I didn't like the way they did the cockpit.  Made it kind of hard to install the AMS resin cockpit which 
needed a lot of cutting as would have the corrected gun panels. I am not good at cutting up stuff to insert other stuff. LOL. I did use the AMS resin replacement
nose ring.  I was going to leave the speed brakes open but decided to close them because the way Kinetic cut the insert slots in the fuselage made the doors
stick straight out instead of angle down like Hasegawa kit (see below)  All in all it went together rather easily.

Hasegawa F-86F-40 (Mig Mad Mavis) done quite a few years ago.  This kit is not truly a Korean War era Sabre.  -30 had shorter wings.
