PhantomBigStu Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) As my mustang may not be eligible spent a significant chunk of yesterday on kingkit having chosen a new subject to find something else to justify the postage with it, in the end still not finalised the order, but have ended up ordering something else on ebay. Hobbyboss F-86F to one of the 20 odd sabres loaned to the South African Airforce for the conflict. Edited June 26, 2021 by PhantomBigStu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Might not be happening soon, kits arrived and its missing the canopy and a few other important parts, irritating as already after the canopy for PM f-86 Edited March 17, 2021 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just off to prime the f-40, checked and the missing parts in the f-30 are all there. Hopefully I can long term get the parts from HB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Absolute PITA sanding this and the mustang, certain seams would not behave, but least f-86 is nearly there, though butcher one set of tanks up already, common theme at the moment. But sorted the prop out on the stang so that will be finished at the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Haven’t touched the canopy, needs some coarser sanding at the front and it’s been too warm to do so, have though powered through the mustang, just needs a touch up of silver here and there and it’ll be decal ready 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Canopy was an fun, went through a very lengthy sanding cycle not once, not twice but three times to find the canopy has to come off l, fourth time was the charm not least as I actually checked before I started the inside was fine. Mustang has stalled, silly me didn’t notice the moulded in bomb racks when I picked a scheme with lower invasion stripe decals. Days of sanding with a rasp awaits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
