This is my first visit to your channel and so far I am impressed, and I am only @ 7:28 into the video. It is refreshing to hear an online model maker who does the build in their own way and style, too many of the builders push their own opinions onto viewers making beginners think that their way is the only way and that their reviews and final opinions about the build quality etc is the most important opinion, and when beginners see it they can be put off from trying different techniques of their own to produce the best result for themselves, model making is a hobby (for most people) and the bottom line is that it has to be ENJOYABLE otherwise it is not worth doing. Thanks for sharing this build, excellent result and I got a couple of good tips for me to try, I am a beginner myself, at 61 years old I am just returning to the hobby after approaching a 40 year hiatus, and as you can imagine things have moved on so much from the late 1960s-70s when I gave up model making to concentrate on other stuff, and then started working on real aircraft and couldn’t find the energy or frame of mind to start again, until now that is. Thanks again for sharing, subscribed.
thanks for the comments and your right that model making should be fun i also came back to model making a few years ago after a spell away from the hobby and it was my daughter who convinced me to make youtube videos i make mistakes and show them because at the end of the day i believe in showing all the good bits and bad bits of kits including my mistakes that i make and welcome to the channel pal i hope you enjoy it
Nice build ! Sabre is a beautiful airframe. The Airfix kit looks really nice and your paint work is top flight. Keep them coming, always fun to see your videos.
Cracking build of the Sabre you have inspired me to have a go at the new release of the Airflix Sabre with the new Arctic Gladiators aerobatic display team scheme 👍
cheers pal and was looking at getting the same kit but instead i have dropped hints for xmas present and hope to get it bought for me lol my luck i will get a pair of socks with some sabre swords on them and the wife will say "what its sabre inst it" lol
First i love your videos, say it as it is real breath of fresh air. Now just getting back to modelling and having problems with my varnishing. so Tried humbrol and vallejo both with not brilliant success with one that i had to scarp the model completely as the gloss ruined the paint work! So just bought a new airbrush with a 0.5 needle to varnish so seen Windsor an newton before, so what is the flat you use and do you thin it with anything and what psi do you spray with? Also could you give a link for the brush pens I have knocked over my bottle of micro sol so many times. thanks North is best.
the brush pens i got from amazon and think they are around 5 quid for 3 pens the windsor newton matt varnish i thin with tamiya x20 around 60 to 40% thinner but you can use water instead but it takes longer to dry
A good no nonsense video. As one who suffers from cockpit anxiety could you say what was the adhesive you used. I didn't quite catch what you said on the video.
@@conradrobinson3315 I used Elmer's goes on purple dries clear glue I got it from Asda in UK but I have seen it in many places for sale It is quite cheap as well I used to use basic white glue but it wasn't very strong
i use windsor newton matt varnish i usually thin it about 60/40 and use tamiya x20a but i have recently done it at 70/30 and though its thicker it still sprays well
Thev RCAF suffered a similar fate as the RAF. Meddled with and a few large brown envelopes from America. The RCAF had some amazing aircraft and even more that never saw service. What is it now? A fleet of F18s?
know what you mean and i only just started another eduard kit and everytime i see the decals it makes me dread putting them on i am a sucker for punishment lol
you can get a bad kit if the moulds for the kit are not lined up perfectly had the same kit twice before and had 1 of them so badly moulded it was a pain to do while the other exact same kit was a dream to build
yea i may say some weird stuff at times lol but i was always brought up with calling them either decals not deckles makes me cringe when my wife calls them stickers
@@yorkshiremanmodels When I made dead simple Airfix kits in school 60 years ago, they were transfers. That's still how I think of them, I have a strong dislike of anything that even hints at American English.

Nice build, I love the way the paint job turned out,simple but very effective.
i tthink the windor newton flat varnish always make the paint look fantastic

Which is the Matt varnish you use and how do you thin it? TIA!
i use windsor newton matt varnish

Thanks mate, love the work, you’re a great help to a beginner like me!
The good old days of the RCAF! 👍
Not a lot of rcaf decal schemes come as part the the kit

@@Rich77UKAVRO ARROW, that was shot down by politics, but would have been a world beater, just like the TRS2.
I'm with you, eduard decals are a pain ,I can't get on with them,to the point that I won't buy the new kits now,I can't understand why they've done it
know what you mean and i only just started another eduard kit and everytime i see the decals it makes me dread putting them on
i am a sucker for punishment lol
you did a terrific job. I found the fit abysmal, and finally junked it . Dane
you can get a bad kit if the moulds for the kit are not lined up perfectly
had the same kit twice before and had 1 of them so badly moulded it was a pain to do while the other exact same kit was a dream to build
L😁😁ooks like a great kit. Thanks for not pronouncing "decals" as "deckles," as many modelers do.😁😁
yea i may say some weird stuff at times lol but i was always brought up with calling them either decals not deckles
makes me cringe when my wife calls them stickers
