CanDid Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hi folks, Here are a few pictures of my F-84-F40 Sabre from 338 Sqn, RNoAF Ørland, in 1963. I used the Revell Canadair Sabre Mk.6 kit and added some extras, including a Martin Baker seat (from Eduard's F-8 Crusader) I also used KASL Hobby's slats and flaps together with wheels from Eduard. The very nice and thin decals are from Norwegian Vingtor. She is painted with Alclad2 and Gunze, and weathered with Ammo of Mig products. It was just a pleasant build all the way 🙂 Thank's for looking, I hope you liked it 🙂 Cheers! //Fred 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Very nice indeed,...... love the scheme too. I didn`t know that F-86`s could carry two drop tanks per wing, which is new to me! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Fred, That is one awesome Sabre! One of the very best natural metal finishes I have seen in a while, and I think you got the multi-toned panels that are a characteristic of the Sabre spot-on! Can't have too many slatted-wing F-86's! Well done, sir! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was new to me as well and it took a while to figure out how the inner tanks were attached to the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice NMF and happy to know that Vingtor decals are so good to use. I have some for a norwaygian F-84G Thank you for the information about Kasl slats ! The Vingtor decals are very thin and crisp, just the way I like them. They only need a few seconds in luke warm water so work with one at the time. I used only a tad of softener. Just keep in mind that there are a lot of ‘2’ and ‘3’ in some serials if you choose to build a plane from your own references. The KASL resin is very nice detailed and without bubbles. It is a bit tricky to keep the right shape on the plastic wing to get the perfect fit with the resin part. Nothing a little patience fixes though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
