This the Kitty Hawk kit. The build is SOB except for the pitot tube from Hobbydecal. It’s a nice edition. The black “darts” on the tail and drop tanks are cut from black decal sheet. -Color scheme taken from the [...]
THE F-86-F SABRE IN PORTUGAL
HISTORY
On August 25, 1958, the first North American F-86F Sabre of the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) landed at Air Base N° 2 (BA2), Ota. They were part of a shipment of 30 (later 50) planes that were [...]
A build I made many years ago of the F-86F Sabre. The wings in this kit represents the E or early F of the sabre jets. This was a quick build, my log shows only 4 days (that is very quick for me). Built straight out of the box. Any details [...]

All raised details have been rescribed, a lot of scratch inside the cockpit because it was completly wrong for the F model of the aircraft, hypodermic needle pitot tube, movable flaps, fuselage drains drilled and opened, scratch built [...]
There isn't much to say about this, it's the Hasegawa 1/72 F-86D Sabre Dog finished in RoCAF markings. It was done as a quick build after a particularly tedious/difficult project and it was just the tonic- straightforward, great fit and [...]
