HobbyCraft "International Sabre Mk. 6"

HobbyCraft Sabre Mk.6
Hobbycraft's claim to fame seems to be their inconsistency in kit quality. Their Sabre series appears to be among the better of their catalog and most other reviews find these fairly accurate too. Petit surface scribing and decently detailed cockpit and undercarriage and wheel wells are all here. The real highlight of this issue is the decal sheet covering (8) schemes: West Germany, Canada, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, and Ethiopia. The markings are nicely printed and offer a neat alternative to the typically seen USAF NMF schemes. I believe this issue had gone OOP, but is readily available through eBay and modeling show vendor rooms.
