Hasegawa 1/48 RF-86F-30

This is another one for the Rowland Freedom Center, and also to be an in flight display.  Hasegawa issued the RF-86F as a -40 with the longer wing, probably because that was the version Japan operated.  Since I am making an earlier Project Haymaker RF-86F-30 I took the resin conversion parts from the -40 and will apply them to a F-30 Hasegawa kit.  So far I have installed the film magazine bulges on the gun doors and done the necessary cutting on the fuselage for the camera ports which are under the cockpit in belly fairings.  The gear doors on the wing have been installed and they fit in the closed position perfectly.  The speed brakes are also on in the closed position, also a good fit.  I am concluding that these 1/48 Hasegawa F-86's are a fun build!
