Reini78 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 #17/2017 Number 3 of the Persian quartet finished. From 1960 to 1961 the IIAF got in total 52 Sabres, F-25 and F-30 Blocks fitted with either 6-3 hard wings or F-40 wings. Initially they were in a nmf livery. 1965/66 they were flown to Israel and overhauled by IAI (think of that nowadays...) They also received the Asia Minor camo and were used then as trainers and fighterbombers. The last ones stayed in service until 1971. Some found new use in the Ethiopian Airforce. Hasegawa F-40 kit, the same paints used as with the Phantom, Gunze H311 FS36622, Gunze H309 FS34079, Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown and Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan mixes with XF-59 Desert Yellow. Decals from Hi-Decal, some stencils are provided on this sheet, the rest came from the RoG Canadair Mk.6 kit. Not all stencils are correct and some are missing but you gotta use what you have. The main seat is from Quickboost, the rear part from the kit seat. The model shows an aircraft of the 41st TFS at 4th TFB in Vahdati in 1969.

stevehnz Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 A beautiful build there Reinhard, I do like that camo scheme, one of the best ever for an F-86 to my eye. I've a plan to build an Ethiopian one using Diego's decals one of these days. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. thanks! looking forward to that ;-) The decals are good but tricky because they are very thin and tend to wrap when pulling them off from the sheet and moving them on the model. Also they adher very fast to the surface, at least ours did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the tip Reinhard, I use diluted Klear to bed decals but even with plenty of fluid, I well know how very thin decals can behave.
