Should be a nice model when completed John. Can't say I envy your decal mission later on.

 

[dubster72]

I'm with Joe - that decal sheet looks busy to say the least!

I think this will be a good one to watch

 

[Dave W]

Hi everyone I've had a dry fitting session on the sabre and it turns out to be a quality kit everything fits like a glove with no gaps or problems whatsoever just the sanding of the sprue tags to do cockpit has good detail with options for the canopy to be closed or open as for the decals I will be applying in stages very slowly and with lots of patience lol thanks for looking/comments everyone cheers John

Just bounced back to this from my ww1 dio I think I may have to few fingers in to many pies at the moment but I generally find it stops me loosing interest in one particular build it seems to work for me but might drive other people crazy as I have bits all over the place View attachment 84979

Small update as I'm bouncing around my model bench from one thing to the other as I'm waiting for the glue to cure on my spitfire a few fitting issues that needed a good clamping so will be spending some of my spare time on this all now primed ready for masking and alclad up next cheers John

That's looking really nice John. This is a kit I've wanted for a long time, the F-86 being one of my all-time favourite aircraft. Are you going to highlight some panels with different metallic finishes?

 

[john i am]

Yes mike polished aluminium with a few chrome panels not sure if this is correct but please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not sure cheers John

 

[dubster72]

I was wondering what had happened to this one John! Looking good with that base coat.

 

[john i am]

Sorry about the slow progress on my builds but my dad as been admitted to hospital the past 3 wks and all my spare time goes on visiting him but do have the odd hour here and there at the bench which is great as I find it very relaxing. But I now have 2 wks off from work so things should start moving along a bit quicker hopefully cheers john
