Really nice build. Just right.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Nice one, OT and it really looks good in those SAAF markings - especially ones from the year of my birth!

Re: SAAF Sabre MK.6, 1961
That looks really good - especially with the trouble you had with the MAV decals. Are we ready for a combined SAAF shot yet?

Terrific piece of modelling. I love to see the F-86 in different markings.
