SkyPainter303's 1/72 MPC F-86D Sabre Dog

Post by SkyPainter303 »

After a bit of a struggle with some setbacks, I've finished the F-86D. The build started out to be the best build I could do of a vintage kit, but it turned out to be a build depicting a cosmetically restored gate guard aircraft.

Here are my final reveal photos showing the F-86D in markings of the 513 squadron based at Phalsbourg Airbase, France, 1958-59.
