Hi Keith, great build. I've always overlooked the Super Sabre but after watching this video it's definitely one I'll be looking out for. Just a little cutting tip I've found for shakey hands and knives, try a cutting mat, it really makes a huge difference in keeping lines clean and straight.

I remember when this came out back in the day, the next generation Hotshot, the Thundershot was already out. So the Super Sabre was kinda old already when it came out. And most people like me already had a Boomerang or a Hotshot, so the Super Sabre didn't really bring anything new, so that's probably why it's just so underrated. Today I wish they would bring it back, just because I never had one and because It's the missing member in my Hotshot collection.

There is another technique to applying decals using some warm soapy water believe it or not. I plan on giving it a try because putting decals on dry is really tricky. They are so sticky. So the soapy water method is get a bowl or a plastic tub like a lunch box and put about 1inch of warm or Luke warm water and a very small amount of dishwashing liquid for a very mild dilution. At first I didn't believe it but you can apply a little bit of water onto the body shell then apply your decals and this allows you to move the decals around before finding the exact right position then you use a paper towel to squeeze out the water from behind the decals by pressing down whilst also supporting the body shell from the inside. And there are videos on KZitem, check it out. Looks a lot easier than trying to apply the decals when dry because they are just so so sticky and very easy to misplace. Enjoy all👍👌 PS , the Super Sabre is being re released now in 2023 and here in Australia will be released before Christmas 👍

The GW is more comical looking and I like it but not as much as the SS!! They do stand tall but it seems to fit the car design and it does not look out of place. I am looking forward to the run video but seeing it getting finished up and all nice and shiny was a treat!!!
