jenko Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If it is the Revell/Monogram one it's a nice kit. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If it is in ROKAF markings it is likely to be the 'Late' moulding with the parabrake tail that has been hard to source in Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Finally, late Sabre Dog hasn't been seen in RoG/Revell catalogue since 2003, with Rafale in my opinion best Monogram/ProModeler kit. Great news Edited April 7, 2020 by Thomas V. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 There was a Revell US release of the late Dog in 2009 but never made it over to this side of the pond AFAIK. It will be nice to get a few more to go with the 13 I've already built plus one converted to an F-86L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Interesting, lokking forward to seeing where the kit originates I'd love it to be a new mould, but a rebox of the Revell/Monogram kit makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) If I remember correctly, ACE from S.Korea produced Sabre Dog tooling for Promodeler, and in all of its iterations kit was labelled " Made In S.Korea", so more than likely ACE kit Edited April 7, 2020 by Thomas V. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Box art, sprues, decals & schemes. Definitely a rebox from the Revell kit. Source: http://mmzone.co.kr/mms_tool/mt_view.php?mms_db_name=mmz_media&no=5946 V.P. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Brilliant, I have lots of decals for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) This looks good. But wish there was an "L" wing variant out there in 1/48 Edited May 25, 2020 by Mike Esposito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acinonyx Jubatus Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Fabulous, I have numerous Superscale decal sheets for the late F86d, so I will be up for a few of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built two Special Hobby ones and have a third making its way up the to do pile but they aren't in the same league as the Revell Ds and the Must Have short winged K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Before my time, but I want to do a 108th FIS IL ANG f-86L based at O'hare field, 1957 now O'Hare International airport, which is 2 miles where I grew up. I got the Revell D, but want to do a long wing L. Edited May 25, 2020 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I converted a D to an L using a Hasegawa F-86Fs wings but it was a lot of work, not something I'd undertake again without a lot of thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Yes. I considered that. But I'm too old for all that work! Edited May 25, 2020 by Mike Esposito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Best Revell kit IMHO: it will sell very well too. Just need some nice person to release some new schemes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acinonyx Jubatus Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I have just been looking through my ADC Interceptor series No 1 book by Chris Banyai-riple There are some gorgeous markings for late model F86Ds inside, 456FIS, 325FIS, and 49FIS would all make nice marking options, and I dont think have been covered by aftermarket decal manufacturers yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It is a great book for inspiration, I have never seen any more in the series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 With these being limited edition does this mean that we are unlikely to see either boxing in UK without ordering from a 'local' retailer? Not too worried about the Japanese boxing as I already have done one in those markings and enough for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
