KevinM Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am thinking it will work good in the end lots of decals let the future dry good enough with abit laid down might be able to use the Tamy wash this time used magnesium on the gun ports tried stainless looked frigg'in blue almost. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Kev Looking good and like the effect of the individual panels buffed out. Nothing like a classic F-86 basking in the sun. Keep 'em comin Peter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I don’t think you need a wash for the panellines Kevin. The Bare Metal finish looks great! I won’t apply a wash for the panellines. But that’s only my personal gusto. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will play it out on the bottom first Kai I did it on the P-47 and some P-51's makes it pop some but then again those are props and get dirty some. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I like the look your F-86 has, albeit it's hard to tell with the harsh sunlight. I like Tamiya panel liner for enhancing - panels -, but the residues can be hard to remove sometimes and I would be especially cautious on NMF. Some motivational pics, I took in Chino CA. some years ago. Cheers Rob 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Okay She is finally starting to look like an F-86 This build has just about been a PIA as far as repainting goes though.I started applying the yellow band decals did the fuse first was on to the one wing when I noticed the fuse band was to far back arrgh!!So I pulled up the wing not dry yet but the fuse............will out came the tape and in the process broke off the Tailplanes OK not one cuss word I promise but their was some breathing happening in the long run made doing the decals around the tail easier without them there.I guess you have figured by now the bands are painted paint one paint all actually looks better but when does it not!The instructions from Kinectic have a bit to be desired on decals so anyone who builds this pay close attention the the fuse band it about touches the wing root. and notice the design of the bottom decal says alot.I think she will look OK when finished trust me I am ready for that word "Finished" and move on to the GB.Pics...........two with flash two w/o. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Kev Awesome progress on your Sabre - she is looking mighty good. Model photography isn't easy and I would go with the two images taken with flash, as the one without the flash, the bright light is a killer. Best bet is to try and either diffuse the light so you won't have the hard glare reflecting of the model. A piece of white linen oftenr does the trick.

belugawhaleman Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Looking great! I'm a big fan of the '86. There is a f86 that flies often out the Waukegan airport and participates in Waukegan's annual air show. I'm fortunate to see this aircraft flying low over Beach Park where my mother lives close to this airport. It's an awesome sight! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
