Yep, another Sabre...1/72 RF-86F 'Wood Pecker' (JASDF)


Recommended Posts

That's quite a time jump! You put Admiral Picard to shame! 😉 I'm sure I've got a Thunderstreak thread from a few years ago on here as well as a Saab jet trainer from about seven years to revive, if I can find it! 🤣

Interesting to see a reconnaissance Sabre with those cumbersome lumps!

Quite surprised that you're giving them thought as they're not 'digital' or 'Tiger Meet'...:whip:

 

After a quick message to @Sabrejet, I was able to move on...

Camera blisters added to underside.

Resin seat (should please @Terry1954) painted and fitted, now ready to fit the canopy.

Now that's better, back to something we all like!

 

Glad to see you back on this build Stuart, only a two year gap. Resurrecting old builds could become fashionable.........................

I do surprise some people, sometimes! Even myself occasionally! 🤣 Got to put the stripes & Tetris squares back in the box sometimes to preserve what sanity I do have. Today I was even daydreaming about building that big Airfix Bentley, or a Tamiya motorbike after seeing Rod's Ducati! Excellent work with this Sabre, which resin seat is that? Got to start stocking up on resin ejection seats & cockpits.

Oh by the way, the other kit build I need to revive was that Marivox Saab 105, which actually has a Tiger Meet scheme on it! 🤣🐯

Yes...and HMS Belfast:coolio:. I use Pavla resin seats for my Sabres...when you can get them.

HMS Belfast? Oh yes that kettle of fish & the family goings on related to that. Was put off doing it after some false family revelations. One day it will get revived.

Other things taking my time...

But I've managed to get the Tamiya AS12 applied overall, interior green in the wheel wells and Citadel Leadbelcher ( a gun metal) applied at the hot end.

You’re making quick work of that one, Stuart! Very nice.

Cheers Martin. With so many to build, you can't hang around.

 

Any ways...

All the sticky-outy bits are on. Almost forgot about the small antenna on nose and wing lights but now the job is done.
