Tony Edmundson Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 the top picture is Hawk One, a totally different pylon arrangement, very non-typical. Go for period photos, no endplates on the fins for the Golden Hawks Sabre 6s. the tanks were the 100 gal model Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Like the dings on the fuselage side on this. Is that from the access ladders support? Interesting info on the tanks and position too. Maybe go back and measure mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 A bit off topic, I found a new clamp. Here it is on my Hobbycraft F-86E wings. They are mini clothes pins, found them at Wal Mart in the crafts department. You just have to be careful you don't twist them sideways, they spring apart easy.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I've been working on my HC Sabre 6 kit. Corrected the airbrakes in shape but didn't realise the tanks are not in right place. Too late now as its painted and part way through decalling. Meanwhile regarding 'Hawk One', there are several modern avionic fits that could lead to modelling a kit in correctly. As well as the longer wings of the F-40 I think. As Tony says, period photos are better. Question for Tony: Is it right that the later Golden Hawks Sabres had their slats wired /locked shut?? And, what is best way to represent the smoke pipes running along top of fuselage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Two questions, were the inside of all gear doors aluminum color and the outside only gold? Also I stole the slats from this kit for another project. I wanted to do an F-86F and noticed I saw on a kit review that the HC F-86F-25/30 kit # 1361 has the 6-3 hard wing with the wing fence and the kit also had slats, which wouldn't be used. So I am guessing if I buy that kit, 1361, I will get an F and the slats to replace the ones I stole from this kit. Am I correct about that?---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue is described as Canadair Sabre Mk.6. This has the slattedwing with separately. Hope this helps. And as for the door colours yes. Unles Tony has a more realistic answer.

Plumbum Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks, which way do the HC decals for the F-86E wing stripes apply from? This way--- Or this way?--- I need to cut a piece out for the top of the slats.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks, so I'll cut from the apex to the crotch and take the slim section off that for the extended slat then make a notch cut for the outside of the wing tip.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Decals on. Not too shabby but HC decals aren't the best to work with. They seem to come off the paper very hard, have to be soaked good in hot water. Enough for one night, nerves need a break. This doesn't belong in this thread either.

Courageous Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I didn't bother using the 'band' decals, used paint instead. Here is my effort on the bands: As an observation, is the star-n-bar on the wing the wing the right size, looks rather large, or maybe I've got it wrong?

Hi Martin, thank you for noticing my deliberate mistake there Hobbycraft of course. As if I didn't find real life Sabres confusing enough, trying to sort out a decent kit is also a can of worms. My preference as a 1/72 modeller is for the Fujimi kits, but they don't have the separate slats, which is a shame. I must say I hadn't really considered the Hobbycraft Sabres, but it looks like a good option. Are there two 1/72 Hasegawa Sabres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
