I remember something odd with the outer wing panel fit, something to do with the landing gear well side parts.

I think it is black:smack:

I'm surprised you are making this look so good. I have one but it has some warps and the plastic seems brittle. So the Hasegawa and Monogram kits look better to me. But under the paint it's amazing how much they can all look the same with a good builder.

Excellent display, well done!

Cool! Love the brass.

Thanks, James. I'm rather pleased with it.

It's coming along nicely, Martin!

I prefer to do those with paint, but then the last F-86 I did was Academy and I didn't even try with their decals.

Thanks for the interest, everyone. I have been working on interior bits. People seem to have problems with the nose "cone" fitting. It does seem to be a bit large but that won't be too hard to deal with. Also, issues were noted with getting the cone properly aligned with the inlet duct if...

I have added a fairing to the tail cone that seems to be fitted to the CIA U-C's, made from a slice of brass tubing attached with superglue followed by epoxysculpt filler. The engine air inlet ducts have been added, with green zinc chromate sprayed in the interiors before the front of the duct...

Sounds like lots of fun!

This is another one for the Rowland Freedom Center, and also to be an in flight display. Hasegawa issued the RF-86F as a -40 with the longer wing, probably because that was the version Japan operated. Since I am making an earlier Project Haymaker RF-86F-30 I took the resin conversion parts...

I'm doing this one and an RF-86F for the museum where Solano Scale Modelers meets once per month. Here's that club's website: https://goldeneramodel.com/SCSM1/SCSM1.html I recently started managing the web site and we be adding more current affairs type club content to it as time goes on. I...

Outstanding, Paddy!

Nice!

Thanks, Chris! Just looks like an airplane I'd like to be friends with. I used to know a fellow who flew them in WW II, he liked it very much.

Thanks, everyone. It's one of those kits we always intend to build but finds it hard to get to the top of the pile. So now this one has, but the C, G, J, and P-70 still rumble from bowels of the stash. Here's some pictures. At the end is a couple with an Accurate Miniatures B-25C and P-51A...

Speaks to me, Charles! Well done!

Still have two gun muzzles to put in the sides of the nose but other than that it is time for me to quit on this one.

Yeah, its my "nucular" option!
