George Guimaraes Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hello! This is my post Korean War F-86F from Hasegawa. Very nice kit, no issues at all. Since the decals were quite old and “yellowed”, I got a new set from Aeromaster. Metallic paint were automotive types and the rest from Gunze acrylics. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

Mstor Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Beautiful metallic finish. You say it is automotive type paint? Could you elaborate? It appears to be extremely fine grained pigment. Looks better than many of the metallics by model paint makers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use them mostly for superior mechanical and chemical resistance. And yes, pigments are very fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Night Owl Models Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't know why more modellers haven't commented on this build that is one gorgeous plane you have done the finishing is superb. I am looking in close at all the parts of the plane and I can only imagine the hours you put into this model. I am not normally a fan of the older jets but the squadron you chose and your metal work is very well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Great looking Saber. I really like the choice of markings. Not as common as most Korean War jets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
