1/32 Kinetic Models F-86F-30 Sabre

Thanks T! Doing my best. ;)

The Pe-2 is turning out to be more putty than styrene so this might be my only chance ;)
 
Well- hated to close up that engine- but you all saw it ;)

This one is going together 300% better than the Pe-2...here are some updated shots...just a wee bit of putty needed...

Need to pick up more Alclad...
 
Thanks! Yeah-- I am hoping the canopy shows some of it off ;)

Well-- now that teaching is done for a couple months, I have some free time again...in between all the projects my wife has for me. Here is an update-- most everything is painted and decalled. Kinetic's decals are very thin but that can be a problem for some of the bigger ones on the sheet which tend to curl up onto themselves and rip easily-- I have some Sol to settle into all the wrinkled areas you see here-- but everything is at least on...

And some details on the speed brake wells (?)....

Hoping to get the gear and canopy sections installed this weekend and then just a bit of weathering...
 
Well-- I be done! Just in time too...here are a couple finished pics:

Good luck everybody!
 
That's a big F-86. I been checking in now and again, good to see her all finished. Good work Jeeves.
 
Thanks everyone for the comments...Should see the rest of the pics once Scott posts up the finished builds I think...
