F-86E(M) Sabre


Recommended Posts

Good evening,

My latest YU bird. What I can say... Academy kit which is pretty good, only problem are panel lines on wings because they are two shallow. And second problem, panel lines (windows) on front windshield are cast upside down, so I used Fujimi one.

Sabre in progress:

Paints are Mr. Color, decals Lift Here. This is my first NMF and I'm very satisfied with the final result. I hope that the next NMF will be much better! :)

Image quality is not the best but I hope that you will like it. I think it's ready for inspection! :D

Very very nice Sabre. Great to see it in different markings as well. :speak_cool:

Very nice job! Was the NMF done with Mr. Metal Color? Or the new Mr. Super Ultra Metal Color, or whatever they call it? Was the NMF sealed prior to decals? I think Gunze, er, GSI Creos recommends Mr. Metal Primer for a sealer over the metal colors. Sorry for all the questions, I'm on a quest for the perfect NMF process!

Cheers,

Bill

I like this a lot, a great finish on a great looking jet. Love the different scheme as opposed to a USAF jet usually seen.

All the best,

Dan.

Thank you Bill!

No, it's regular silver Mr. Color 8, but Super Silver is probably much better. :) After painting, I sprayed 3-4 coats of Pronto (wax for wooden floors), it's like Future and after decals/wash another 2-3 coats.

A few better pics...
