Lcurtis Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi Folks  I picked up the old Monogram 1/48 F-86 at a show a few years ago. I was looking at the kit last night and realized that the air brakes are missing (parts 7L and R I think). Would anyone have these in their spares (or the whole kit if it's cheap 🙂 )  Thanks  Lloyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hubbie Marsten Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi Lloyd, Bummer... if there was no luck on part of some modeller, you could still save the build by purchasing CMK set #4146. That a nice set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeriderdon Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Most likely going to have better luck just getting something after market. Or if someone has one they are willing to cast some for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lloyd Are you in the UK? CMK No 4146 1/48 F-86 Armament Set is listed at Hannants for the low, low price of £11.42.

Lcurtis Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I suppose I could scratch build them. Going to be close anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, Hannants has got this silly 20-quid minimum order requirement, which puts me off ordering a single resin or photoetch set from them. Good thing about this 4146 set is that it corrects the 15º angle at which the airbrake doors open in the real thing, something that Mr Hasegawa overlooked in their excellent Sabre kits. Lloyd should get his from them as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The48ers has one left in stock for £14.10. No minimum there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill51sdr Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Lcurtis, I have an extra kit I can pull the parts from if you are still in need of them. PM your address if so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lcurtis Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thanks Bill, that's really great of you. PM on the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill51sdr Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 No problem Lloyd, happy to help. Been in the same boat myself in the past. :) Just to confirm, you need both air brakes, correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lcurtis Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 That is correct, parts 7L and 7R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
