Vingtor Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 That would work quite well. You could link the builds with Sabre and Harrier in IV Sqn colours! I'm a slow modeller, spending too much time on research. I will build a RNoAF Sabre, either an F or a K. No Norwegian Harriers, I'm afraid....

No Norwegian Harriers, I'm afraid.... Nils Maybe you could have a back to basics blitzbuild. No research, very little aftermarket etc. I'm going to do that sometime soon to get back in the swing of things. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 August 14 - excellent, time to save up and get a few bits together. Unless that is Julien does the philanthropic bit and provides us all with a kit.............. On more down to earth note Canadair Sabre Mk 6's - 6-3 wing with slats?? If so is the Academy F-86F-40 the same thing. Cheers Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a superb website which gave chapter and verse on the Sabre wing question, but it seems to have disappeared. From memory, the Mk6 was the only Sabre with a short-span 6-3 wings and slats. An F-40 wing will need to have the wingtip extension removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 So do we want the August start Mish said instead of the July date suggested yesterday? Stu, I don't think the Mk6 is the same as the Academy kit. I started a thread a while ago which I got usefulness information from. I'll see if I can find it for you.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 You are in! For your 4000th G.B... 4000th concurrent GB! I now have to decide what I'm building. There's so much from which to choose! I'm seriously considering an Ethiopian F-86F supplied by Iran in desert camouflage... Outrageous, eh?

Vingtor Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Maybe you could have a back to basics blitzbuild. No research, very little aftermarket etc. I have tried it - it didn't work. Winter camouflaged RAF Harriers in Norway is indeed an option. But for the other GB though. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have tried it - it didn't work. Nils Ah well, you've got a while to decide anyway, no need for a definitive decision yet By the way, do you know what type of wing was used on the Norwegian F-86F's? I fancy using your decal sheet, but it don't know if I have the right kits for it. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have yet to finish a groupbuild ( only started in one though) but a F-86 GB is something I could do. Start in August 2014 sounds nice :-). I'm planning on a Norwegian F-86F, does anyone know of a good kit in 1/72 that could be used for that. And I'm sure Vingtor has some decals I can use You need an F-86F-40, in 1.72 the best is Fujimi. You need the RF-86 Boxing, the Blue Impluse boxing, or boxing F-18 from memory. I'm seriously considering an Ethiopian F-86F supplied by Iran in desert camouflage... Outrageous, eh? Never seen them in camo, I have seen them in NMF though. Got any pics? August 14 - excellent, time to save up and get a few bits together. Unless that is Julien does the philanthropic bit and provides us all with a kit.............. On more down to earth note Canadair Sabre Mk 6's - 6-3 wing with slats?? If so is the Academy F-86F-40 the same thing. Cheers Stu If you get the academy kit then you will need to shorten the wing as the Sabre 6 never had the extension but still the slats. A better option is to get the Hobbycraft Sabre 6.

I fancy using your decal sheet, but it don't know if I have the right kits for it. Norwegian F-86Fs were all fitted with 6-3 wings. Originally short span with wing fences and no slats. After a couple of years (or so) these were replaced with long span slatted wings. Note also that Norwegian Sables were retrofitted with Marting Baker bang seats, and at the same time had new canopy rails installed, to lift the canopy over the seat when opening.

scorpiomikey Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 So a single type GB is all variants of a single type of aircraft, is that right? If thats the case put me down as a tentative, i dont have a sabre in my stash, but im interested in getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
