Another Week Build

[Adam]

This is the Hobby Boss 1/72 F-86F Sabre. I built this over Memorial Day Weekend. Hope you like it.

I forgot all about nose weight until attaching the landing gear so this one is a tail sitter. I employed a piece of clear sprue to prop up the rear.

Thanks for looking and keep on modeling!

Hi Adam, pretty cool for a week end project. Wish I could still do that but I seem to have forgotten how.

Cheers, Christian B)

Thanks guys.

Terry, the fit is ok once you remove all the locating pins. They actually made the alignment worse. One thing I have noticed about these small Hobby Boss kits is that there are random imperfections all over the place, almost as if there is grit in the molds or something. For instance this kit had a weird chunk missing out of one side of the tail, and the tip of one wing was just off and funny looking.

Saul.... you funny guy you! :pp

Glad you showed it who's boss. I have been wondering about the quality of their kits.

Cheers, Christian

Thanks MP and Dusan.

Christian, they look ok on the outside but there is nothing in the cockpit besides a very basic seat and control stick.
