Here is another of my models. This is the Monogram, F-86F-10 sabre Jet.

I improved the landing lights, canopy frame. Added a doubler fwd of dorsal fin, actuators to gear doors, and wing tank side straps. Modified engine inlet cover.

I depicted the Mk5 Sabre Jet of the RCAF 1959 Golden Hawks Aerobatic Team.

Finish is Alclad ll, Pale Gold with Aluminium Bare Metal Foil to the leading edges and exhaust. Decals are from Leading Edge #4801 and they went on very well, sealed with Future floor wax.
