Leading Edge has released set 48-10 which should come as a welcome relief to those of you allergic to bare metal Sabres. These depict the RCAF Sabres that operated out of Marville, France between 1955-1963. These Sabres wore the standard RAF Grey/Green upper camouflage scheme, and featured PRU Blue undersides.

Markings are provided for any of the three squadrons of 1 Wing (410 Sqn, 439 Sqn and 441 Sqn).

In addition, a second sheet is included in this packet for an impressive array of maintenance stenciling, warning stripes, etc. If you have been keeping your 1/32 Hasegawa Sabre, your 1/48 Hasegawa/Academy/Monogram Sabres or any of your 1/72 Sabres on the shelf because of bare metal phobia, now is the time to dust them off. These will build into some colorful aircraft!
