riversphynxz Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I Just received an F-86 Sabre from ebay yesterday and after 6hours in front of my computer, this is what I've done... Many thanks for looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Note the wing on the Blue Diamond Sabre is the extended span slatted -40 version. The Academy kit wing is the short span hard edge 6-3 wing. FYI Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just used the Academy kit for decal measurements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 no, the fuselage is the same. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riversphynxz Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 And now they are printed and ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Those look great! How do we go about ordering them and what sort of price are we looking at? I'd be ordering from the US. It looks like I may need to pick up another Kinetic F-5A! Or do an F-5B in the Greek Aegean Blue scheme nd use the A kit for the Blue Diamonds! Were the F-5As in Natural Metal finish or Aluminum paint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird3a Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It certainly looks to me as if the F-5s are painted Aluminum while the F-86s were NMF. Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
