V105 Sabre Jet Flyer for Laserburn back at 15mm.co.uk

We are continuing our re-release of classic Laserburn 15mm science fiction vehicle codes this week with the iconic Sabre Jet Flyer.  Dating from the early 1980's this vehicle is unique in the range in that it is the only civilian type flyer and it has more parts than others its size.  We elected to keep the Sabre in white metal instead of resin and spent a lot of time cleaning up the original masters and putting them in new black rubber. The Sabre now looks as good again as it did the first day it appeared in wargaming stores across Great Britain. Our team are very pleased with the result.

Here are some images including a scale image with an Imperial Trooper (not supplied) and a parts of kit photo too:

V105 Sabre Class Jet Flyer - 1 Metal Vehicle Kit  5.00GBP
A small civilian or local authority science fiction jet flyer perfect for most 15mm campaign settings. This code contains one white metal re-mastered set of parts to assemble the Sabre flyer.  Dimensions of the vehicle are approx 40mm long and 30mm wide.  The jet pods may be assembled for a landing or idle or a flying position.  No flight stand is supplied but the vehicle could easily be mounted upon one. A classic Laserburn model now re-mastered and produced in white metal.  GO HERE.

If you like the style of the Sabre then check out the resin and white metal new kit of the V106 Law Officer Air Raft on our website.  Here is a picture of this popular space opera style vehicle.


Thanks for Reading.

  1. I love the look of the Sabre Jet Flyer. I do not like the time it takes to modify a model to fit in one as a pilot. Please make a pilot and passenger figure! (maybe even a gunner?)

    As always, keep being Awesome!

    1. Hello Rothgar. Many thanks for your comment. The seated miniatures in the Laserburn range fit into this model with a minimal amount of fuss. I will certainly float the idea of additional miniatures suitable but we do have a seated SFA Trooper in the HOF range that might well work too. GBS

  2. Hi Gavin, great little flyer! I second Rothgar's comment, a couple of seated figures would be great.... or a sealed canopy cover bubble thing....

    1. I will ask about and see if people want to see Sam Croes converted Sabre and put it up, it has a rider. As for a canopy...no chance! :-)
