F-86K German Air Force, Kitty Hawk, 1:32


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

some pics of my latest KH Model. The F-86K in 1:32 with markings of JG 74 the only unit of the German Air Force equipped with this nice interceptor. There are some issues like the missing air intakes both sides of the fuselage and with the placing of the decals, but nevertheless all in all it is a good kit. Used some Eduard PE and RBF. The intake-cover is selfe made.

Brilliant.

 

How many hours did you log for that model?

 

Volker

hard to say, I did not count the time. I total It needs about 5-6 weeks.

An incredible build! By far the nicest F-86K I have seen in any scale. Perfect paint and understated weathering- looks real! Well done! :clap:

Really nice! Just to be correct however, JG74 was not the only Luftwaffe unit to operate the F-86K: it was also flown by JG75 (JE-codes) and WS.10 (BB-codes).

You are right SabreJet! But JG 74 was the only active interceptor unit. Germany planed to established 5 interceptor units: JG 71 - JG 75. Later the units were reduced to 4, so JG 75 never went into active service and their F-86K were transfered to new formed JG 74 based at Neuburg/Donau in Bavaria. By the way, the Luftwaffe F-86K do not used the sidewinder, just the 4 guns.

Outstanding cockpit and an exceptional build. Your paint work is absolutely wonderful. Were there any difficulties at all with the basic kit?

Very nice!

But a strange scale for you, no?

;)

 

To get the best F-86K, you have to choice this scale....😊

Great looking F-86. Nice paint job. Decals look painted on (assuming they are all decals). Love the look of the “K”.

On the first sight the KH decals are looking a bit thick and you have to use some decal-softer. Than they are just great!

A fantastic build with great paintwork and photography..   Do you have any pics showing the (missing from the kit} fuselage air intakes and where they are located  ?.
