F-86F Sabre [Academy 1.48]

This is my first post in ISM (beside my "Hello")

That model is my latest work. F-86F Sabre from Academy at 1/48.
The kit is really good value for money. I made it straight from the box. I only used Tamiya tape to make seat belts and some very fine wires for the landing gear. I used several shades of alclad II lacquer paints to achieve metal look, such as white aluminium, duraluminium, dark aluminium. The only bad part of the model was the decals. So I painted all the stripes and the chess board in the vertical stabilizer. Finally I sprayed Humbrol’s clear gloss varnish to seal everything.
The model won the bronze medal in 33nd report of IPMS Greece in 2014 in 9th class







I hope you like it. (Let me know if the pictures are too big...)
