Afternoon, all. I have built the Academy 1/48 F86 and just finished the Revell-Germany "Dog". They both went together a treat, are nicely detailed with recessed panel lines and look stunning when weathered.
The decals are as thick as two planks of wood and I chose to go with aftermarket stuff for the "Dog", but too late for the Academy. Didn't realise how bad the Academy decals were until I started to apply them.
I have to of the old Monogram Sabres, and compared to the Academy one , they aren't so great (sorry to all the Monogram fans out there). But with care and thought, they won't look too bad.
Don't be intimidated by the number of parts in the kit...this is a GOOD thing!! Just take your time and go step by step.
I'll post pics in a week or two..My current bird is the F4 J Black Bunny just cos I like it so much and the Tomcat Black Bunny looks kinda lonely on the shelf by itself......
Then there's the White Bunny.....bunnies everwhere heheh
