Courageous Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 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. Build Log Here Thanks for looking. Stuart 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That has come up very well Stuart, we haven't had many of these built& it is good to know it can go together so nicely, having the other boxing as I do. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantherhawk27263 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Great job!!! I couldn't even begin to try putting on those vortex generators. My fingers are to fat and I'm too impatient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
