   Thanks Gents! How did that old song go, "She's got the look", and so do the others you mention! Gary, ask Tony if he knows Jim Craik, a long retired RCAF Sabre Tech who has been called the Canadian expert on the jet and a great modeler when we were both serving in Bagotville in the early 70's. Jim was building the Hasegawa kit by the dozens for former Sword Drivers on commission, I enjoyed his work and chatting with him occasionally and if Tony sees him about say Hi and best regards from me.
Cheers,
Lance

Hey Lance - Tony knows Jim quite well in his modelling circles. I sent a link of your build and he was happy to see it. He was actually in London, UK back in December when a group of alumni (including Dan Dempsey) from 431 Snowbird squadron had their Sqdn Crest officially mounted on the wall in the RAF Club. About a dozen guys attended the ceremony.
Cheers,
Gary
