Academy 1/48 F86 Sabre

Been working on this for a while. Sorry I haven't got any actual 'build' photos, but here is where its at right now.

Alclad Polished Aluminium was sprayed at 12psi over Tamiya Ts14 Gloss Black.


Close up view.


You can kinda see the inside of the cockpit in this one.


Now it's time for decals and weathering. Believe it or not, this is only my second time using Alclad.

Wonderful finish

Hey thanks I really appreciate the comments. I have started applying the decals, but they don't seem to want to conform very well to the surface. I'm using Walthers Solvaset, which I've had no problem with in the past. Other than the decal issue, production has stopped due to the fact that I cannot find the left and right rear landing gear struts. If anyone has the parts in question, PM me and we can work something out.

Wow that's shiny !

Great job on that metal finish, shame about your missing struts.
