Gents,
For my next project I've got the Academy F86 sabre and given my passion/obsession is the manned space program I'd like to model this as
Buzz Aldrins a/c (met the man a couple of years ago obligatory photo and autographs obtained)
But I've only seen 1 photo of his Sabre any help with references greatly apreciated
Cheers
Chris

I'm going to look around for you, I think I might have one somewhere.
As an aside, I grew up behind Buzz Aldrin when He still was in the space program. I even have bragging right to him being a family friend, having dinner with him, and stuff like that. My father even flew in the back seat of a NASA T-38 with him more than once. I haven't heard from him since my father passed away though, so I doubt I could manage to get info from him for you - he is a very reclusive person these days.

He is a true American Hero. I am hoping to see this build progress.
