gingerbob Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Right then, here's my intended: I'll be using the Hasegawa 1/48 F-86F, slats from a Revellogram F-86D, and possibly some few bits from an FJ-4. Or maybe I'll just have to fabricate the odds & ends... Anyone got a hangar queen ESCI Fury they'd be willing to salvage? (I'm in the USA, though.) bob
Mozzy19 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Nice. I remember this one being talked about in the Future Group Builds thread. Sean
gingerbob Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks for remembering, Sean! I should point out that I don't expect to do the pose as shown, though it would be awfully nifty... bob 1

Biggles87 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 This looks interesting, I shall be following (the build) closely.
Killingholme Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 This might be useful http://web.ipmsusa3.org/sites/default/files/journal/sabre-sea/sabre_at_sea.pdf
gingerbob Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Yep, sure will- I found that when I was doing the initial investigation, but thanks for bringing it up. I also have decals ready, thanks to... oh dear... Paul Boyer, I think! (Guess I'd better check my notes...) bob
gingerbob Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 That would be quite the diorama! Mozzy, the wheels are turning... Neglecting the greater problem of me finishing the kit period, I just might attempt something of the sort. It WOULD be a really nice way to show it. I was at a show a while back, and someone had a 1/32 F-16 just pulling up the gear, with a section of runway (and beyond) as a base. Really nice, and then I wondered what that odd little something was- it was a grouse or quail just off the ground, fleeing for its life. That really took it beyond, to me! bob 1
MARADER Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Bob, very interesting project! I want to build a similar plane. Volodymyr
