Airfix has provided the first images of the sprues for their upcoming Canadair Sabre Mk.4 model kit (A08109) in 1/48 scale.
As previously reported, many months of work to create the most accurate model possible. This included scanning a suitable aircraft at the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection in Oslo, taking measurements and detailed photographs and delving into the history of this particular machine. The compiled information was then used to create a 3D CAD version of the aircraft that serves as the base model shell.
The new images capture the first test frames produced for the kit, and are still subject to modification before the final product is released. The kit is currently slated for release in the winter of 2020-21. Click below to check out a selection of the newly released images.
