Hi
Guys,
This
time I'm here, with my Italeri F-86E(M)
Sabre
in 1/48 scale.
The
kit, is quite good, with very good surface detail. The dimensions are accurate and the
landing system is acceptable.
The
cockpit is scratch built, painted black. I used clear film for the armoured
windscreen.
A very good kit,
with nice recessed panels, correct dimensions and good landing gear. The cockpit
was mainly scratchbuilt and was painted black. The "V" shaped front
part of the canopy was made of clear plastic.
The model was
painted with Μetal 2002 by HUMBROL. I used my computer in order to
make the special Hellenic markings of the 341 Sqn.
The Hellenic Air Force
received the first F-86Es on 7/20/1954 at Elefsina. Those were used aircraft by
the Royal Canadian Air Force, also known as Canadair CL-13Mk-2.
