Acinonyx Jubatus Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have the Hasegawa 1/48 F86 Sabre RAF kit in the stash, however I would like to build this in USAF Korean war markings if possible The problem is I dont know exactly what model of Sabre with which wings i have in the box, possibly an F86 F30 with the 6-3 wing with the small fence ? If any one can provide me with some accurate information I would be most grateful Also would I be correct in thinking neither Academy or Hasegawa have produced a slatted wing Sabre in 1/48 Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of F-30 Sabres in Korea though. 52 minutes ago, Acinonyx Jubatus said: Also would I be correct in thinking neither Academy or Hasegawa have produced a slatted wing Sabre in 1/48 Correct. I'll stick a @Sabrejet in case of blunders on my part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far no-one has kitted a 1/48 F-86F with separate slats (prepared to be shot down in flames on that if I'm wrong ). Even the old Monogram F-86F has the hard-edge wing, so it's curious. That Academy F-86F is similar but AFAIK has only been kitted as a hard-edge F-86F - again OK for Korean War but with the provisos above. As with most F-86 kits, they need configuring to be fully accurate (intakes etc). The Airfix Sabre 4 isn't out yet - possibly later this year by the looks of it. It also will be a 'hard edge' version. Doh. Edited June 15, 2020 by Sabrejet 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were they thinking at Hornby? One set of wing sprues with positionable slats in the box, file/sand back the 6" extension on the LE of the wing stub on the fuselage, and they wouldn't be able to mold/box them fast enough! Are we ever going to get an accurate pre -30 Sabre in 1/72 or 1/48 in our lifetime? 🥺 Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they have not done it as an option, but to competently rule it out for another boxing is maybe a bit short sighted. The Red Roo set I believe is the Scooby Doo set, wish they would re-release it. @Ed Russell any plans? might sell a few when the new Airfix hit hits the shops? Kasl hobby do a nice F-40 set in 1/48 but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarlucan Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Looking at the Airfix F.4 sprues, it looks like there may be a future release with slatted wings in a similar vein to the separate Hunter boxings. Maybe at last a slatted narrow chord sabre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope; sensors indicate due to the MB seat and separate wingtips, I see a long winged Norwegian release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I'm not well versed in Sabre detail, so perhaps you can clarify an aspect of the above comment, from looking at this the long span Norwegian variant you mention, does that have a slatted wing? And, if so, are the slats the same as the original narrow wing? Which is a clumsy way to ask if there is a long wing Norwegian Sabre, would this then need a slatted wing, and could this then be modified back to the original wing plan? As an aside, I know that Hasegawa (and Revell reboxed) a version of the F 86-F30 kit, as a Canadair Mk.6 and with resin wing tips, as a F 86-F40, did they just ignore the need for slats? I'll put a @Sabrejetin as well, cheers T Edited September 20, 2020 by Troy Smith added 'not' as didn't make sense otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
