ANG F-86 Sabre/Sabre Dogs


Recommended Posts

Kursad i know this may not be a new topic but with all the kits in various scales for the F-86 Sabre/Sabre Dog series and with so many colorful ANG schemes that exist for these aircraft is this a project you may consider in the future?...Those beautiful Alaska Air Guard F-86 sabres in artic red to all the colorful day glo red/orange schemes for the sabre dog series are just a few examples for this classic aircraft in this era...Have to believe a series of these sheets would be of great interest to so many!!!!!!!!!!

I have some ANG F-86 material drawn up already - but these are for the F-86H, for that elusive 1/48 Hog Sabre kit that I had been hoping for years. Some ANG sheets for other F-86 variants make sense. The schedule for the remainder of 2016 is pretty full, but I will take note and research these for the 2017 lineup.

As I think about markings for the F model, I think most any USAF, USAFE, and Korean War markings would be welcomed. It's been a long time since Microscale released their sheets years ago.

I agree... would love to see some 48th FBW F-86F-35's regular jets rather than the Skyblazer Demo jets.

The OP asked about Sabre and Sabre Dog series.   I'd be up for any and all to include the H.

Kursad, Do you mean the Collect-Aire 1/48 F-86H kit, now long OOP?  They also released a very nice F-86D/K/L kit as well with NH ANG markings, just can't seem to find one in my price range. R/ Dutch

No, I meant that injection-molded F-86H that I had been expecting from a mainstream company for years. I still hope someone will put it on their agenda soon.

I hope so too! I built a Collect Aire "H" a couple of years ago, but would like to do another...this time without the torture.

@82Whitey51 & Kursad, 

 

Well, thanks for the heads-up. If building the Collect-Aire F-86H left that much trauma, I'll just look for a Monogram/Revell F-86D and add the wingtip extensions and other details to create an L without the scars.  I just need the NH ANG decals. Many of the ANG units had a variation of the Day-Glo orange with just different state lettering and badges.  Hence my vote to Kursad.  Take care and Happy Thanksgiving.  I have much to be thankful for this year from this forum alone.

I want to do a NH ANG "L" also. I thought the only external difference was the antenna on the fwd underside. It's got a longer wing span as well?

F-86L upgrade included SAGE system as evidenced by the antenna forward and below starboard wing as well as cooling scoops behind and above wing. See the Neb ANG plane on a stick above for the scoop location.  It also got the slatted 6-3 wing mod as well as 12" wing extensions.

I'm rapidly approaching the paint part of my current 1/48 F-86D build.  As I told my club the other night, I'm willing to continue finishing it as a Nebraska ANG bird with pieced together bits from multiple decal sheet sources in order for a NEW sheet to be issued with these markings just minutes after I complete the model.  You're welcome.
