My first love: Lindberg F-86A Sabre Jet.

by Pierre Lagacé on December 21, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This was my first love in 1958. I was 10 years old. This is the box top I remember. I don't have the model kit anymore, but thanks to the Internet I was able to retrieve good old memories. There is an anecdote to this story. In 1958 I had [...]

1/48 ESCI F-86 Sabre

by Joe Caputo on August 31, 2013 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

The price was right, and I had some old decals laying around, so this old bird got thrown together. Even though it's not even up to Monogram's standards, it still looks ok for it's age. The interior leaves a lot to be desired, as do most [...]

Hobby Boss 1/48th Scale North American FJ-4 Fury

by Erich Goldbach on May 23, 2013 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

While I’m usually a “propeller” guy, I enjoy building early jet subjects from time to time for a change of pace. The FJ-4 was North American’s "Navalized" version of their famous F-86 Sabre. The kit was built for a good [...]

Monogram North American F-86F Sabre

by Gary Brantley on March 21, 2013 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

As designers will tell you, if it looks right, it is right. Well, the North American F-86 Sabre just really looks right. Really right. With its sleek swept wings the Sabre was an elegant warplane. North American had started the XP-86 [...]
