Dutch Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @ 82Whitey51, Here are some diagrams for the wingtip extensions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Whitey, I picked up a Special Hobby 1/48 F-86K for a decent sum. It already has the long wings, I just have to fill in the gun ports on the forward fuselage and add the SAGE antenna. Not sure if I will remove the ~5/32" fuselage extension forward of the wings. Will have to do some measuring of the actual plastic to see what the "is" is. I am very impressed with the molding quality and overall shape, though. I am just waiting for Kursad to make the New Hampshire ANG decals. Edited October 10, 2017 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still hope someone will put it on their agenda soon. Feel free to do these decals in 1/72 scale while we're waiting for the 1/48 kit. There's something about ANG markings....

Dutch Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Hey Zach, that's a beautiful scheme as well. If you have the Banyai-Riepl CD, can you see if any NH ANG pics are on it and post them as well? Edited December 5, 2017 by Dutch Correct name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I know not of what CD you refer too however just doing a little digging around there are a few out there: NH ANG F-86 TN ANG F-86 This is an interesting one: F-86A-7 (formerly a F-86A-5-) #49-1131 was used as target tug by the Utah Air National Guard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Your Hawaii ANG F-86L artist rendition has Copywrite 2004 Chris Banyai-Riepl on it, so I assumed your had the CD. Thanks for the NH ANG & TN ANG photos. Already have those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Does anyone make an F-86A in 1:48? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 There is always the -A conversion that Cutting Edge did in 1/48 scale. Not sure if it was only the canopy, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre Freak Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Cutting Edge F-86A conversion included the Armored Front Windscreen, the slot doors for the 50s, slats & inserts for pre 6-3 wing and rear fuselage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Kursad, You've been pretty busy of late. Any movement on this sheet? R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 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. Kursad, You know, if you release the decal sheet, the kit is soon to follow! Looking forward to 1/48 & 1/72 ANG Sabres in all marks.

Drifterdon Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Just curious if this sheet is still somewhere in the queue or if it was filed away in the circular bin? Would love to see anything F-86D/L from 120 FIS, Colo ANG or maybe a Minute Men F-86F. I'd even be happy with a NE Air Guard F-86L. It's pretty basic looking but I love those old Flaming Arrow markings on the nose and tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I don't recall ever announcing a product number for this one - I have collected reference material and will definitely design a sheet in the future; but I don't know when. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Dusting off a half year old thread. So any additional thoughts Kursad on a quarter scale Sabre/Sabredog sheet? Would dovetail nicely with all the new Fury sheets you're producing. Just an idea. Edited July 30, 2021 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Great idea, but I am hopelessly swamped for the rest of the year, folks. I think when 2021 is over, we will find that I will have released almost one decal sheet per week. I am penciling this in for 2022. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trust me when I say you have to be the most prolific decal maker out there. And one of if not the best. I don't speak for everyone but I certainly appreciate all of the amazing subjects you give us modelers. And you cater to us braille scalers! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

gsgreene Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I have been searching the internet to see if there was even the slightest chance that I could find decals for a Nebraska AG F-86L in 1:48 and I stumbled across this thread. Is it at all likely that a decal sheet will be produced???? My Grandfather served at the time that these were in service and I have been wanting to model this forever.
