I am adding a Hasegawa F-86F-30 kit with Warbirds Decals to do James Jabara's F-86F he flew on his second tour in the Spring of 1953 when he increased his victory total to 15, thus coming in second behind Joe McConnell for USAF ace status (both of them were beaten by the six Soviets who scored more than 16 victories - the real Ace of Aces of the Korean War is Yevgeny Pepelyaev, CO of the 196 IAP who made his score between May 1951-February 1952.)

I may also make a second F-86F using the rest of ther Warbirds Decals marking for Hal Fischer's "Paper Tiger."

I'm adding these in before the group ends at midnight tonight.

This is an excellent idea, and I thank you for starting another KW journal. I have that exact same Hasegawa Sabre, and I'm posting a build journal for it in a few. I haven't decided which markings to use yet. Great minds think alike ! less than 12 more hours are left for new entries into this group. I decided to add a few more that I would be kicking myself over if I had not done so when the opportunity was present.

I'll be looking for updates on this one.
