Welcome, Reinhard @grimreaper

Welcome to the group, Reinhard (@grimreaper). This is a great choice and will really look good in Thai markings. This is one of Revell/Monogram's nicer kits and is also surprisingly large. Looking forward to your build.

and fuselage already closed
added 20g lead as noseweight
didn´t know which colour the IB of the Thai F-86 had, grey or black, went with black in the end

Looks very good, Reinhard @grimreaper

Great progress, my friend @grimreaper!

Nice job painting the interior, Reinhard @grimreaper. The detail that you were able to bring out with paint is pretty amazing. I have reached the age where I need an Eduard set to make something like that happen.

Very nice detailed cockpit. Super!
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 2 weeks ago:

fellow modeller Tom Cleaver did point out, that the "L" had the elongated F-40 wings
gonna try if the wing tips of the Hasegawa F-40 kit fit the Revell one, if not, gonna do a Philippine "D"
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 2 weeks ago:

wing tips don´t match in size and shape
for a conversion you could use the hole wing of the Hasegawa or Airfix F-40 Sabre, but still would need some surgery
so it´s gonna be the Philippine one

wings not glued on yet but fit is good

gonna add the fuel tanks

It is amazing how often what seems like a simple conversion turns out to be difficult, Reinhard (@grimreaper). You never see a plane done in Philippine markings, so I think it will look cool.

A wise decision to go for the Philippine version, my friend @grimreaper!
John vd Biggelaar said 1 week, 6 days ago:

Good choice to go for the Philippine markings, Reinhard @grimreaper
