LorenSharp Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Finished after A bit of repair work after coming home and finding the nose wheel snapped off, but no matter. For your viewing pleasure today I humbly submit Revell's 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog. 512th FIS,405th FIW Sembach AB Germany 1956. F-86D-NA, 52-10110 Col. M.J. Quirk CO. Corrected historical information thanks to Sabrejet. This was pretty much OOB with the exception of a panel in front of the instruments to add Counter weights to keep from being a tail sitter. AlcladII in various shades for the bare metal effect and an acrylic wash to highlight the panel lines. One noticeable correction I did make, again thanks to sabrejet was to add the fighters crew cheif back on the canopy where it belongs. THe kit supplied decals had the pilots name on both sides. I scanned the decals in and substituted the names then printed out on decal paper. Not a big deal for tying to make it accurate, besides it makes up for using the wrong intakes on the fuselage..OOPS... A face only a Mother could love It's been an enjoyable little romp. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Here's the link to the build. All comments, critiques and observations welcome. So until next time ,stay tuned for more, same bat time, same bat channel. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Always nice to see a Sabre Dog, great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumulonimbus Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Very nicely done sir, your natural metal finish looks very convincing. I like the shape of the Sabre Dog more than the standard Sabre, which has to be said is an elegant looking jet, but the Sabre Dog just looks that little bit more menacing! Well done! Kev.
