Silver Fox Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've been so wrapped up in wargamming recently I've not built a plane for a couple of months, so I went back to an old favourite, the Revell F-86D. I've done a shed load of these kits and am finally getting to the end of my stckpile which were mainly bought when ModelZone went bust or from second hand vendors at Telford. The decal are an old SuperScale sheet for the 5th FIS after they changed tail colours from Blue to Yellow in 1956. I think to be completely accurate there should be markings on the tanks but they aren't on the sheet and two photos show two different applications. As always thanks for looking 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's a D-45, but who cares? Nice job and a change from the usual schemes we see. And one of my favourite kits too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Since Million Monkeys F-86 pages disappeared I've been reliant on the decal sheets and the Air Force Legend books. I'll change it s title. Thanks for the update I've just done a search and found this: http://www.forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/F-86D.html Happy days.

Silver Fox Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Cheers Ian, one of the guys at the branch has some resin inserts to turn the easier to find early models into the later ones. Its the decals that are getting harder to source.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
