Ale85 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hasegawa kit with Zoom photo-etched parts from Eduard, decals from Eagle Strike Range; except of them, i built my Sabre straight OOB and i had lot of fun. Paint with Gunze's acrylic H330, H331 and H56 for the blu (i know it's not the right PRU blu, but for me looks right!). Hope you like it And now... a couple of Sabres! thanks for looking ciao Ale 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nice one. I hope you don't mind if I point out a couple of errors? RAF sabres did not have the red line going through the fuselage roundel. Also the zinc chromate colour is not right, this was a green colour as used on US jets. Looking at colour pics of 112 Sqn jets the code letters do not appear Yellow but white, however that's Eagle Strikes error not yours.

Hope you like i thanks for looking ciao Ale Compliments my friend and PM sent your way. Julien, I picked up a few other points for Ale to work on for his next RAF Sabre. Hasegawa's vague diagram on the pitot tube installation has fooled a lot of folks. You can't tell by the assembly diagram but the painting instructions have the pitot tube correctly aligned. That's it for now, good job Ale, I like it !!!!!! Cheers. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul coudeyrette Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 comp very well finished... the only contradiction is this curved pitot tube which was mounted on the wings 6/3 with tilt slats to meet the pattern of deployment of these components. On a wing fences (this model) the pitot tube is right...This does not detract from the beautiful finish of this model Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 That's really nice. Never been a Hugh fan of the F-86 but that makes me want to start one now, or finish the one on my shelf of doom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
