Aigore Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) And so was the Persian Sabre done :D/>/> As usual I got bit bogged down in aftermarket...got to deal with this AMS somehow :P/> It's a Hasegawa 1/48th scale kit. Other than all the aftermarket I put in into it I used Hi-decals IIAF decals and it´s painted in Lifecolor acrylic. I´m considering using FOD-covers for the inlet and outlet...we shall see. All in all a pleasent build and I´m happy with it even if there still is some beuty spots left...the biggest being that I seem to have gotten the meassurements wrong for the placing of the extra tanks :/ A bitt annoying and it´ll cost me when I put it into competition later this autumn. Time for some pics! :D/>/> End part 1 Edited August 12, 2016 by Aigore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx :D Yeah, the detail pics are so so... the kit isn't made to be looked at that close but I wanted to show tbe details pop in the closeups. The distance pics shows the model the best, I've learnt a few new tricks in editing the pics that really makes a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

polo1112 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes as the Scaremonger says : nice Scorpion !!! By the way the Sabre is the F-86 and the F-89 is indeed the Northrop Scorpion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dsahling Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Stunning! Finish came out really well, no one other than the judges would notice the tanks, you can always reposition them but that entails a fair amount of filling and cleanup work afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now I see what you meant....I didn't get that "Scorpion" remark at first but no I made a mistake, in my mind I wrote F-86 but it came out differently. I'm dyslexic and what I think I read or write isn't necessarily corresponding to reality from time to time. Edited August 12, 2016 by Aigore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes as the Scaremonger says : nice Scorpion !!! By the way the Sabre is the F-86 and the F-89 is indeed the Northrop Scorpion! Indeed I wrote F-89 by mistake, I know it is the F-86 and in my mind I wrote that...I'm dyslexic , that means I sometimes don't read or write what I think I do, so if ppl just point out my errors instead of trying to be smart about it would make things easier for me because I didn't follow that Scorpion hint at all.

polo1112 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Ok it is not really a problem if you think F-86 and write F-89. I think many dyslexic people can made a mistake between 6 an 9 for instance; or between b and d and so on. But I have to say that your model is really gorgeous; I like it very much and you did a great job with it.Congratulations. Polo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
