Now that the Cuban T-33 is almost finished, ma dad gets ready to start the next Latin subject. Hoduras used ten former Yugoslav AF Canadair Sabres from 1976 to 1986. Sources differ, some say ten Canadair F4, some eight Canadair and two F-86F. Gonna use the Airfix kit with Aztec decals. Furthermore a resin seat from PJ Productions, the FAH Sabres have been fitted with a MB 10 seat.

Great start, my friend @grimreaper! The duct looks good!
There are a lot of really cool schemes from South and Central America, Reinhard (@grimreaper). Looking forward to seeing your Sabre. I flew into Honduras more times than I can remember when I was flying C-141s. It's a really beautiful country.
Nice start on the closure of 2022, Reinhard @grimreaper
as far as I´ve read, the earlier Canadair Sabre versions had a black cockpit instrument decals applied

Nice progress, my friend @grimreaper! The seat looks superb!
The instrumentation looks very good, Reinhard @grimreaper The seat is very nicely detailed. A nice improvement.
and some more progress
also do the airbrakes closed, like with the gun bay covers also here the parts were a bit too large and too thick so some sanding was necessary

Nice progress, my friend @grimreaper! It usually happens for parts needing trimming and / or sanding when going for "closed" or "shut" option.
Great progress, Reinhard @grimreaper The airbrakes do fit exactly after some trimming.
fuselage closed as it already happened several times, my dad forgot to add noseweight he could tear apart the nose parts and added 15g now some additional filling is necessary, also because the area in front of the windscreen was missmolded
@grimreaper - The detail in the cockpit is quite amazing for something so small. Very nice!
