F-86K Sabre Dog - Royal Netherlands Air Force


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Here is my recently completed build of a F-86K Sabre Dog, described as a 'NATO All Weather Fighter' in 1/72 using the Special Hobby kit. The kit has some lovely detail but the lack of location pins, etc, makes the build process somewhat tedious at times but the kit is what it is. The most taxing was the fitting of the PE vortex generator blades at the tail end, not for the feint-hearted but it had to be done. Decals were beautifully printed and generally applied with no problems except the long stripes which needed a little tlc. Scheme is that of Q-333, 700 Sqn, RNAF, 1962.

More 'dogs' to build but when :shrug:?

 

Are we talking USAF/Danish D's or other NATO K's? Either floats my boat, just being nosey! 😁

All of the above Terry, it's all about decal availability.

Really smart looking Norwegian "K" Stuart!

Cheers Martin, you'll be seeing it on the club table next meeting. It was going to be a Norwegian 🇳🇴 but you may have noticed that it's now Dutch 🇳🇱  :whistle:
