Hi peeps. My Dad built an F-86 in RAF colours many years ago. I still have it and have been gonna refurb it and give it back to him one day. Anyways he has been a little crook of late so I decided to pull my finger out and do it. The first problem was I'd put all the busted bits in a bag somewhere safe. And you guessed it I couldn't find said bag. So I decided to use an Academy F-86 instead. The fit so far is ok but not great. I will be mounting it inflight on a pole so I had to drill a hole for said pole. Cue the power tools 8-)

I also had to fit a pilot which I wasn't too fussed with. He came up ok I guess and fits in the cockpit pretty well. Oh and guess what? I found the missing bits :oops:

Anyways it's progressing well

This is what it'll look like hopefully

Sabre is coming along great mate!!!. After your last couple of builds you will never be able to call yourself a "lazy modeller" again

. You are leaving some of us for dead.

PS: what is your dad's interest with this particular colour scheme???

It's just the scheme that came with the Esci kit way back when

You've got as many on the go as I have and yet I'm not seeing many done. Get on with it

Been in PNG for a week and had a lot of other shit on the go but it's getting there. Got the PRU blue painted on the bottom the Monday and a coat of One Go last night. Hopefully I can start the camo tonight. This pic is just after I finished painting the bottom

Just thinking about it and I might leave the One Go to dry an extra day. Even though I'm trying to get this done yesterday I can't afford to screw it up. Might just slow up a bit me thinks
