replicant Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hello mates! This F-86F-30-NA 52-4584 (from K-13 in Korea 1953) is a quite old model built 1993/1994 from the Heller kit. It comes with some etch (airbrakes and...) shared with Matchbox/Heller Miss Louise ( i will show), but i do not remember the brand. 23 years behind glass and not photographed until now. I only polished the canopy and removed a little dust. The decals are from a second Heller kit. This is the jet of John Glenn. Don´t kill me because there is right side nose art. Cheers! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 A really nice looking Sabre. I'm glad you took the time to post these pictures of one of your older builds. That's a beautiful metal finish. This kit still holds up pretty well, despite its age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfordhibby Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 A very nice Sabre indeed, a grand testament to your skills. All those years behind glass doesn't seem to have harmed it any, still looks fresh. Peter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
