RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Then the sanding was done. There is a little filler needed around the cockpit I just found out when it was test fitted.... But it is looking like a Sabre. last painting in the cockpit + pilot tomorrow and gluing the last parts on it and then it is masking time on the hood. After that.... well. Primer on and painting... YEY... A few pics... Smoke On Go!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) OK. Since BM has been down I have not been able to post updates, but.... She is primed and painted in Natural Metal. Not completly happy with the airbrush, but will do for this one. Better luck next time. I will post some pics when I get home... I will not use Gloss on it this time either as the Airbrush is not ok. So decals wil be put on a rough surface.... I will post pics later...

Vingtor Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Nice model, Ørjan. These are not "Flying Jokers" though. The team was called "Joker Acro Team" back then. The name was changed to "Flying Jokers Aerobatic Team" when the team was re-established with F-5s. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio, Dan, Alpha Delta. Thank you for your feedback. And Alpha, thank you for your leadership and pressure to finish this. It is the first model I have finished in ages! So I am happy, but not all the way there yet... Smoke of, Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to seeing your fellow countrymen at Duxford next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 A terrific speed build. I didn't think you would make it! Another nice F-86 for the GB. Well done. Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 That`s what happens when you are not carful with not checking your background stuff... I'm afraid I'm more an historian than a modeller. That's why I notice such things. BTW, did you forget to put on the black walkway lines on AH-X, or are they missing on the real aircraft?

But not forgotten! :-) On the original Fujimi set they are not present and the Smoke on Go decal sheet does not cover the small decals... (standard decals) I am looking thru my stuff for some, If not... Wanted section.

RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Nils. I know, but my stash of decals does not include hole sheets of different colours:-( Building will escalate within this year.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Bur surely you must have some black decals...? Just find some delals that you will never use and cut a stripe. In worst case, mask the stripe with tape and paint it. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Last option will be done next weekend.:-) My stash is packed away as I am taking the Hobby cave apart and will be rebuilding it:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
