As an entry for a small club GB, I started and finished this Revell of Germany 48th scale Sabre over the last couple of weeks. The RoG kit is identical to the Hasegawa kit. This kit's an F-86F-40 kit with supplemental wingtips to turn it into a Sabre 6. This is my umpteenth Hasegawa / RoG Sabre build. No surprises. MM Enamels for the camo and Alclad for the aluminum bits. Decals are a hodge-podge of different sources, mainly Leading Edge though. There are no stencils, just main markings. The only additions are a seat pad and tape belts.
I'll be presenting this model tomorrow, 23 November, to the last NCO I reported to before I retired, S/Sgt. Cori Slaughter. In the picture below, her dad is sitting in the front row, second from the right. As a coincidence, look at the tail number on the Sabre on the right. The reason I am presenting this Sabre to Cori is because her dad, F/O Bill Slaughter, ejected from AX 374 on 18 April 1961 near Homburg, Germany when he suffered a compressor stall. Years ago, I had the privilege of speaking to Bill about the incident and he said it was pretty 'exciting'.
The end result.
Thanks for looking.
Mike
