Silver Fox Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 My latest effort is this example of the lovely Hasegawa F-86F. It is a easy build so all the glaring errors are of my making. I used a spare set of markings from the Eduard 'Ultimate Sabre' boxing which were for the 390th FBS, at Alexandria AFB, in Louisiana, in1955. There is a nice photo of this machine out on Google images which checks out against these markings. I really enjoyed this build and it was completely trouble free, I used just a smidgen of filler , probably due to my sausage fingers. This will be my last posting for a while as I am about to tackle the Kittyhawk Voodoo, inspired by Camper1 and Nikolay Polyakovi's current build. I might do a WIP but it might just end in the bin! Thanks as always for looking 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Love the job you did on this! I have recently tried to up my game with NMF and am very curious on the brand and specific colors (and undercoats if applicable) you used to get the finish, which looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a grey automotive primer, polished with sanding pads for a smooth surface then a mix of Humbrol Silver, Humbrol Aluminium and Tamiya AS11 Silver all from rattle cans and a lot of masking tape. Each successive paint was again polished. I hope this is of some use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
