Hasagawa 1/48 F-86F-40 Sabre of the J.A.S.D.F.

This is an other OOB build for an in club contest from a few years ago. Finish is overall aluminum with minimal weathering. Fun build, and fairly quick, too. All of the decal stencils were in blocks, and weren't too much of a challenge. [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 F-86A Sabre
