Courageous Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi all. Here I present my recently completed RF-86F that I started back in Oct 2019, can't remember why it stopped but here she is. Built mainly OOB with the only addition being a Pavla resin seat. Build log here: Basically, a Sabre kit with additional sprues for side blisters and camera housings. No problems during build. Painted with Tamiya AS12, kit decals for a JASDF unit. That's all folks. Stuart 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Not a version you see everyday, she looks great and Will look good in your display area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty84 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi Stuart, great to see a recce Sabre built. And the Japanese markings really add a splash of colour. Nice one! Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splash of colour definitely livens up an otherwise boring silver. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Nice one Stuart. Good to see you back knocking out quality Sabres again! Need to get you interested in a QF now............. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Very slick looking model. Gotta love a recon bird. May I recommend mixing in a drop of retarder for hand brushing Tamiya acrylics? (If that's how you painted undercart wells.) I get mine from an art shop; compatible and much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but QF is at back of queue...like your Vosper. 50 minutes ago, Maginot said: Very slick looking mode Thanks Maginot. I must admit, the Wells almost got forgotten about, so it was a little 'last minute' plus it's underneath... Stuart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Very nice indeed. Interesting paint scheme too. I turned my Fujimi/Italeri kit into an RAF F4, and found the wing-fuselage join underneath a pain to get right. Yours looks great, with all the camera gubbins creating further interest.
