Hubert Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 North American F-86F Sabre "Mike's Bird", 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Suwon, Summer 1953, pilot Captain Charles McSwain. Mix of Academy, Print Scale and Techmod decals, wheels and cockpit details from Eduard, painted with Gunze's Super Fine Silver. The other metallic shades came from Vallejo Metal Color line. My first completion in 2020, hope you like it Best regards Hubert 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A most attractive bird, exhibiting an impressive standard of modelling. Or, a bit less pompously – a beautiful Sabre! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Pearcy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Stunning build. Excellent finish. I've tried to get hold of an Academy F86 here in the UK without resorting to eBay but I'm not having much luck. Again,an awesome representation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced the seat with the Eduard's photoetched one, and haven't noticed until now, that it had no headrest. Will have to do something with it, great many thanks for posting this comment And thanks for all the nice comments, happy that you like it!

Gary Brantley Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 That's a beautiful Sabre Hubert! Great looking scale model you have there. Hey, "Mike's Bird"! That's a popular scheme too. 😀 My take on the same aircraft: MiG Alley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I didn't realize the Academy 1/48 F-86F Sabre was that nice of a kit. Your build is awesome and I really like the natural metal finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
