Brett Gibson Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi all, Went shopping today for a Hunter and brought an F-86. Hey, I couldn't find a 32 Hunter. I plan to do a RAF F86 F 4. The kit a got was an kinetics 1/32 F86F-30. Can I convert this to an F 4? What do I have to do to it? Were can I get decals for RAF F-86 1/32? Last one the kit can with sidewinders, did the RAF F-86 have them mounted? The Hunter will be next. This will be done as an Rhodsia from the early 70's. Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi, yes you can use an F86-F-30 to build a hard winged RAF F4. Decals, I don't know. The RAF never fitted sidewinders to their F86's. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROGERD Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 the revell hunters seem to be very hard to come by ay the moment (both 1/72 and 1/32) as they have been discontinued why did I not buy any from Modelzone zone when they were selling off the MK6 boxings for £9.99? a chance missed. that siad I hoping to pick upa couple on saturday at Farnboro show Rogerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Gibson Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi all, Looks like no sidewinders. What about bombs? Any ideas on RAF F-86 decals? Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The Italeri boxing of the Kinetic kit comes with 112 Sqn RAF markings - I've already put an ad in the Wanted section - but no bites yet Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAA72 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi all,Any ideas on RAF F-86 decals? Cheers, Brett I have that kit, Brett (it was a tenner cheaper than the Italeri offering!), mine will be in RAF markings though I'm not sure who's - yet! Standard stencilling from the kit is useable, and roundels and serials can be bodged together from various generic sets. I quite fancy an all metal (with red wing tips and lower tail unit) "Beechers Brook" (I think) ferry colours - the last batch had "hard" wings..... That saves worrying about squadron colours - although 3 Sqns Green and Yellow bars can be knocked up fairly easy......as can 66 sqn's Blue and White..........
