Serkan Sen Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Very nice work Stuart. I will follow this build with great interest. I hope one day I will find a bit time to build my Revell 1:48 F-86D early and late versions. Serkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times where I wish I'd stayed with 1/48 but space pressed me to 1/72. And last but not least... The hot end is done too. Sorry for the slight fuzziness but I was a little jittery after that ordeal. Now I can get everything ready for priming. Stuart 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 And away we go... Primer on...just. Thought I had more than I did but I didn't. Had enough to do the job but a visit to the LMS is called for, oh dear . Outdoor jobs to do now, hopefully get back to her later. Stuart 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Yesterdays effort longer than I expected... The pergola is the new addition to the garden and it needed painting. I have got a spray gun for such jobs but the neighbour has now got his gazebo up and I couldn't trust myself not to contaminate his gazebo with 'sea grass' paint, so it was out with the mk.1 paintbrush. This morning, everything got a coating of Tamiya AS12. Stuart 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Ticking along... Citadel Leadbelcher added to 'hot' panels at both ends. AK Dark Green applied to anti-glare panel. Stuart 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite surprised that nobody has mentioned the 'green' in the background, it's 8th hole of my local golf course, you would never believe how many golf balls I have... Remembered to airbrush the wells this time. AK black for the nose. Citadel Mephiston red for the intake chin marking. Staurt 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Some cursing was involved... Varnished applied and decals went on. The decals were lovely and thin, went on and formed beautifully. A couple of decals were a pain, the starboard wing walk line decided to wrap itself the break apart with my 'faffing' and the port fuselage stripe took and age to look right. Fortunately I have a couple more of these kits and raided its decal sheet for the wing walk line decal as I'll be using the other decal option for that kit. A quick varnish coat, then we'll start putting things together. Stuart 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 She is turning splendidly, Stuart. I still like those red, white and green decals that you have lurking in that pile, though. Nice work, reflected in a nice build. Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, the Dutch never had F-86F's, so this'll be the last. 20 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: red, white and green decals that you have lurking in that pile, Sorry Martin but you'll just have to wait. Hopefully I'll get time over the weekend to get onto this bird but garden calls and then its a few days break. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you could come close with a 32nd FIS one!: https://images.memorix.nl/nda/thumb/640x480/57124c40-1414-8b8a-943a-25171c345519.jpg DutchDecal do a quite nice sheet.

Procopius Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I thought I was a hard man when I put PE vortex generators on a Valiant, but I see now I'm just a lightweight. Sabre looks stunning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Got in a bit late for this build, but I think it looks fantastic so far! The cockpit is terrific and I really like the natural metal finish. I think you should've gone with Norwegian markings, but Dutch are an acceptable substitute... 🤣 I am seriously impressed with the vortex generators. I am not as familiar with later sabres so this was something new to me. I'm on a bit of a sabre kick right now so this will be fun to follow! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the golf balls, we have had near misses, the worst off-course ball landing on the front drive, says a lot about the golfers ability at the club!
