Sabrejet Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Just noticed: your horizontal stabilizers are upside-down (swapped left and right): the vortex generators should go on the underside. Minor fix hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One from the Royal Danish airforce ESK 726 from 1959 and from the 94th FIS Selfridge AFB 1959, USAF. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/123443-revell-04553-f-86d-dog-sabre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most builds depicting USAF birds. The first question is how the decals work. The kit is stashed for a longer time. Thanks for the hint with the stabilizers !

Sabrejet Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I'd certainly go for the Danish: decals should be OK too. But how about a simple conversion to update it to a late-service F-86D? You'd only need a new seat (resin MB Mk.5) and a set of Sidewinders + rails. Decals shouldn't be too much bother either, since you'd use most of the kit decals aside from a few simple serial numbers: Here's a larger image (photo RDAF/my collection) 51-6123 '16123/F-123': And a few (all via Egon Sorensen) 51-6119 '16119/F-119': 61-6037 '16037/F-037': 51-6052 '16052/F-052': And two more from my collection (source not known): 51-5977 '15977/F-977': 51-5960 '15960/F-960' (note no Sidewinders or TACAN and still with NAA seat): Edited August 10, 2018 by Sabrejet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 WOW ! Thanks for sharing these excellent photos and additional informations. I knew about the Sidewinders but not about the ejection seat. The aircrafts look really polished on the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
