North American f-86K RNLAF - 1/48 MustHave


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Please find my latest completion, the f-86K in Netherlands air force markings by MustHave models. 

I found this a very nice kit to build. It is basically the revell f-86D, but with 2 injection moulded fuselage halves in order to make a "K".

Some photo etch and resin is supplied in the kit as well, but not too useful apart from the seat belts.

As usual there were some challenges along the way, but all of my own making. The only item that I couldn't get to fit perfectly was the canopy, so I decided to place it in the open position. (Although I did make some pics with a shut canopy before I permanently attached it in the open position)

It is not 100% accurate, but overall I am reasonably happy with the result. The good thing is that I am finally a little more comfortable with the All metal finishes after having build this and the recent Thunderflash. Metal colors all by AK xtreme and some touch ups with metalizing powders UvdR and Mig. Hope you like it.

That's all. Thanks for watching. Any feedback or critique is welcome.

Exquisite model. Cockpit is incredibly nice. I see what you mean about the canopy in the closed position but it's not as bad as your comments made it sound. Display that model proudly!
