Academy 1/48 F-86F-30 - 'Red Tail' Sabre


Recommended Posts

This is only my second GB here and as with the other, I started before remembering to take some photos, but have provided some intro and shots below.

This is the box art, that I know is very familiar - done it again on the photo rotate - sorry, I will get the hang of it eventually!:)

This is the scheme I wish to do - it is Col Ben O Davis mount in the Korean War - have done a red tail P-51D in the past and intend to do a red tail P-51C in future, but in the meantime thought I would do this for something slightly different. Got photos from Wiki page, not sure about copyright

Some work in progress. Have sorted out intake so that it is reasonably smooth. Not sure how much will be seen, but good practice.

That's all for now.

By the way I am a hairy stick painter, so the finish could be interesting and am debating whether to go with using foil.
