Gunny Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I know it's old, but which kit is this set designed for? Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been 20 years or so since I've had an F-86F kit & that was one of the Hasegawa 1/32s. If using this cockpit for a USAF Korean War F-86F variant, is the Hasegawa or Academy 1/48 better? I really want a Kinetic 1/32 F-86 but can't find one or the Italeri re-box. Semper Fi, Masterguns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The Hasegawa and the Academy kits are equal in buildability for a Korean Sabre, keeping in mind that they only depict a F-86F that has the 6-3 wing installed. The Hasegawa kit also comes in a F-86F-40 box that does not represent a Korean era Sabre. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 The F-86F-30 6-3 is appropriate as having served in the Korean War, correct? Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 yes, even early F-86F-1s received the 6-3 wing. Check your pics carefully and go with photo confirmation which wing it had. (or ask here) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
