Dogs of War: 1/48th Revell F-86D Dog Sabre
Every once in a while you find a kit that was better than expected, case in point for me: the 1/48th Revell F-86D Dog Sabre. My kit builds into an early F-86D (without the braking parachute) although the version with the parachute housing [...]
1/48 ClearProp F-86A
This is my PREVIEW of the IPMS USA review of the ClearProp F-86A. A decent kit with some 'Caveats' but it is nice to see the early version kit in 1/48 ...and soon in 1/72! Bravo CleaProp.
Here is the link to my more Extensive IPMS USA [...]
Review: Clear Prop 1/48 North American F-86A-5 Sabre
The F-86 Sabre almost didn't happen. Had the Air Force not been willing to delay the F-86 program for a year while North American undertook to study the swept wing research done by Messerschmitt during World War II, the F-86 would have [...]
Siam Sword...1/48 North American F-86F-40 Sabre, Royal Thai Airforce
Next Thai Fighter finished by my dad.
Hasegawa kit with Siam Scale decals, Eduard PE seatbelts, gun covers and exhaust area painted with MRP Steel, wing central areas with MRP White Aluminium, main surface done with MRP Super Silver. Red [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-86F 30 Sabre
Hasegawa's old mold still produces an attractive looking Sabre without build complications.
Academy 1/48 F-86E(M)
The Royal Hellenic Air Force (EBA) started receiving F-86Es in 1954. These were surplus Canadair built CL-13 Sabres, which were handed through the Military Assistance Program (MAP). Prior to handling, they were overhauled and their wings [...]
USAF F-86E Record-Setter: 1/48 Italeri F-86E
This is the fourth of four F-86s that I have built for the "F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury Group". I chose the Italeri 1/48 F-86E for this build, which actually comes from the old ESCI molds from 1979. The biggest problem with this kit [...]
Asian Canis...1/48 North American F-86D Sabre Dog, Philippine Airforce
After my dad finished the F-35 5th generation fighter, now back to something oldschool.
The nice Revell Germany kit of the Sabre Dog, markings from Hi-Decal (thanks to Diego from Hi-Decal for providing them). The sheet comes only with few [...]
F-86E(M) Honduras Air Force: Airfix 1/72 F-86E(M) – Sabre and Fury Group Build
This is Sabre #3 that I have built for the Sabre and Fury Group Build. I usually never build more than 1 model of a given type of airplane, and I usually never build more than one at a time, so this group build has launched me into new [...]
Airfix F-86F-40 modified to Sabre Mk. 6 and the Golden Hawks for F-86 Sabre Group Build
The Airplane:
The Canadair Sabre series was built by Canadair under licence from North American Aviation. Sabres were produced until 1958 and used primarily by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) until replaced with the Canadair CF-104 in [...]
