Monogram 1/48 Canadair Sabre Mk. 4...

The Albatross continues
I think I was successful in splicing the Alley Cat canopy with the Trumpeter nose piece, building up the sides with milliput to get the distinctive curve below the canopy that Trumpeter missed. I also included a picture of the Alley Cat [...]
