1/48 Hasegawa/Revell F-86F Sabre

[Dusan]

Hello,

This is my entry for this campaign, it's a Hasegawa re-box by Revell as CL-13 version, I will build one more in the near future as a German bird... :hmmm

Btw I will also continue my work on Spitfire (Out Of the Box) and Bf109 (Wings over the Reich) very soon, but I think that F-86 Sabre and Starfighter are perfect for this campaign so I have to build this one.

Thanks for looking!
All the best!

That's cool. Are you going to strip the metallic surface or just re-paint where you fix whatever seem lines?

I bet its from those rattle cans you've been using.

Is that a chromed bird or just molded in silver?

If its like the Tamiya Mustang*, its "Silver Plated". If that is the case, soaking in bleach will remove the metallic color.












*I accidently bid on one and won it about 5 years ago. I couldn't figure out why I was getting it so cheaply

I apologize for the late reply. I've been busy lately :pinch:
Jeff I know what you mean, but this one is not silver plated, this is a regular gray/silver plastic. I have one Tamiya Spitfire MkV and F-84G silver plated. Mr Terry did a MiG-15 for the Russian campaign, which was coated with silver paint, and he did a great job!

Photo update soon, I started to work on Sabre.

All the best!

Hello,

I worked a bit on the Sabre, the cockpit is basic but I'll throw in a pilot figure to fill the seat.

I apologize for the poor quality photo

I added a small piece of styrene to improve the fit of the wing...

Now I have to start with the sanding...

All the best!
