Here are a few pics of my Italeri F-86E Sabre. I have to admit it is not a bad kit. A few areas whcih could be improved upon.





More pics soon. All comments welcome.

Hi Ross.
Looking good so far. I take it, it is the 1/48 one. A very nice, easy build.
Are you going to NMF her, or will you pick one of the other 6 markings that come with it. I'm doing the British version when i get round to it .
Good luck with the stencils, there are hundreds of them :-) .

Hi Andy,

Yes I am thinking a NMF for this bird. I do want to do an RAF example but for that I am going to use the Hasegawa kit. I know what you mean by the stencils. I have had to put it on hold for the mo actually becuase i need a new canopy as the front part was deformed and was missing a section of the canopy. Instead of a sharp cornered edge it was round.
