This seemed to fit here a little better than the Armor section, even though it came out of an aircraft kit.
This is from an old 1/32nd scale Hasegawa F-86F Sabre kit. I found it in my Dad's collection and always had been intrigued by that tug.
The plane was used to fit the Scale-Master Decals artwork for the first release of the kit under the Mini-Craft name. Some of the airplane parts are off the runners, but I assumed it was complete.
Unfortunately there are no instructions in the kit, and the only ones I've found online are not for this deluxe kit. It was only offered once with the tug, so the only instructions available just have the plane stuff.
Some cool features are the rubber-like tires for the plane and the tug and metal parts for the plane's removable jet engine as well as wire and tubing for the engine. There is also a trailer/dolly/stand for the J47 engine. I may have to build the engine and dolly too, although ironically I am missing the instruction page for the standalone engine. At least I have the wiring diagram.
These are the parts for the tug and dolly.
After the main body parts were cleaned up and assembled I scribed the panel lines in. Some of the panel lines were at the glue joints. There were a few sink marks to contend with too.
These two sections are dry fitted as I figure out what order to assemble and paint it in.
