    like with the new Airfix Vampire, also their new Sabre kit is no Tamigawa
    some larger gaps in the upper wing to fuselage joints
    had to fill them with pieces of plastic sheet and putty

    first my dad started with a brighter tone for the first upper camo colour then he oversprayed it with a darker tone
    but it´s too brown/dark
    gonna do another layer with a brighter tone again, maybe with deck tan or buff

    It does look great from here, but for sure the brighter tone will make it ook perfect, Reinhard @grimreaper
