I was happy to see the release of the 1/48th Airfix F-86F-40 Sabre kit as it actually had slats that could be deployed as well as gun and ammo bays that could be displayed open, however it does have its down-sides as well.
I decided to do up my slatted RCAF Sabre in camouflage instead of NMF due to the Airfix panel lines being “less than delicate” on this kit. Now completed and on display in The Hangar, I find the Euro camouflage with the RCAF 441st Squadron checker-tail markings give this bird some added appeal (IMHO).

Now I am looking forward to seeing what Clear Prop has done with their early slatted 1/48th scale Sabres so I can take on some early RCAF Marks - Looks very good in the reviews so far.

Thanks for looking & good luck on your next build.
