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 [...]
Korean War: 1/48 Hasegawa F-86F-30 Sabre
For the recent F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury group build, I chose markings of one of the top U.S. aces of the Korean War: Maj. James Jabara. I used Warbird Decals 48027 Korean War F-86s, Part 2 and 48027 F-86F Common. You need both sheets.

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 [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-86F 30 Sabre
Hasegawa's old mold still produces an attractive looking Sabre without build complications.

The decal set is intended to [...]
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 [...]
Review: 1/48 Academy F-86F "Paper Tiger"
The F-86F was developed as a result of the combat experience over Korea against the MiG-15, which had shown that the F-86A and F-86E were outperformed by the Soviet fighter at high altitude. Appearing in Korea in the summer of 1952, the [...]
Hellenic Air Force F-86E(M) Sabre: 1/48 Academy F-86F Sabre
When I arrived at Williams AFB in 1976 for my first day of Air Force pilot training, I was greeted by an immaculate F-86 that was the gate guard at the time. The F-86 has been one of my most favorite planes since then. Spiros (@fiveten), [...]
