Any advise on a good 1/48 Super Sabre kit. Like this fighter and was wondering who offers a good kit to build.

Italeri makes a 1/48 scale F-86E, which is the re-issue of the ESCI kit. Academy offers a F-86F-30, and Hasegawa still has their F-86F-40. The differences in versions all center around the wing configuration. The Academy is naturally the newest offering of the group.

The best Hun is still the old Monogram kit. Trumpeter makes a range of Super Sabres but their shapes are a little suspect and you need some aftermarket parts to correct them. If you can get past the dodgy shapes, they do go together well.

Well I really like the Trumpeter kits - very easy builds and look great when finished. I have done the 1:48 F100F and just finishing the F100D with the F100C next in line. Suberb kits and I highly recommend them
