Drifterdon Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've done a search on the interweb and checked on ebay to see if anyone makes decals in 1/48 for Japanese F-86F's but am coming up negative. I thought maybe Platz would have done a set but no such luck. I did see that Hasegawa has boxed their 1/48 F-86F in a couple different boxings with JASDF markings but don't want to buy another kit just for decals. Plus I'm not interested in doing a Blue Impulse jet. I have an old Monogram F-86F that I'd like to do up in Japanese marking so if anyone is aware of some aftermarket in 1/48, I would love to know who and where. Thanks for looking.

Jennings Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The Hasegawa F-86F-40 kit (at least the version I had) had markings for every single JASDF Sabre squadron in the box. The decal was as big as the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well, if you can't find the decals you want there's always an alternative: or [ [ The Flight System ships are Canadair but is there that much difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 There are as Jennings said a couple of Hasegawa Sabre boxings with Jasdf markings in them. Plats have not done any for reasons unknown as they have done just about every other fighter they have flown. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 There was a dry transfer sheet from that producer from Korea, Hobbydecals, I should have the sheet in my stash, it come with serial numers and basic stencils but no hinomarus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The Flight System ships are Canadair but is there that much difference? That is a subject of many other threads on ARC and other forums. They will come up on a short search. cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DONG Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Don I have the Has. sheet from kit # PT14 your welcome to have but it does have a crease on one end about an inch in. If you want it PM me your address. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 So dusting off this super old thread in the hopes that someone may have the hinomarus and Japanese data from any of the Hasegawa 1/48 F-86 kits. I have some usable squadron markings thanks to DONG but am in need of the rest to finish multiple kits of the F-86F. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
