TJTX Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Beautiful Sabre! Such an elegant aircraft. How was the build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2020 Jerry, I'd say this is easily the nicest finish I've ever seen you do. You're definitely got the NMF nailed. GORGEOUS, man!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic is a bit thick. I didn't like the way they did the cockpit. Made it kind of hard to install the AMS resin cockpit which needed a lot of cutting as would have the corrected gun panels. I am not good at cutting up stuff to insert other stuff. LOL. I did use the AMS resin replacement nose ring. I was going to leave the speed brakes open but decided to close them because the way Kinetic cut the insert slots in the fuselage made the doors stick straight out instead of angle down like Hasegawa kit (see below) All in all it went together rather easily. 2 hours ago, Clunkmeister said: Jerry, I'd say this is easily the nicest finish I've ever seen you do.

k5ikl Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hasegawa F-86F-40 (Mig Mad Mavis) done quite a few years ago. This kit is not truly a Korean War era Sabre. -30 had shorter wings. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
