Revell 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog Completed!

Whut?! Done already???

Looks like the metalizers worked well enough! I just picked up some Vallejo metal aluminum. I hear it works about the same. I'll consider myself lucky if I can get similar results as yours.

Nicely done.  :)

Thank you damouav! Model Master Metalizer "Aluminum Plate" in the spray can. 

Thanks PFJN!

Thank you Mike!  I know, didn't take me long at all.  What can I say it was mostly in the kit, it went together trouble free.  I think it took me longer to do decals than anything else!

Another fantastic finish on this build.  You can now proudly display this kit.  Also great job with the stencils!

Toshi

Thanks Toshi and lawdog!

You and Toshi really crank these kits out in short order and you do very nice work also. Very nice looking F-86. Well done.

Keyda,

Really awesome Sabre Dog and what a job on all of those little decals.  I'll second the motion that you should enter that one in a contest, it came out great.  Your work has been really inspiring and keeps getting better and better.

Thanks BrandonK!

Wolfhammer1, Thank you!  I don't think there is anymore shows in my area until next year.  I'll be sure to enter a few next year though!

Thanks Shipwreck!

Last time I was here, you finished the Tomcat, now you just finished an F86 with metalizers.  Wow!  You make this hobby look fun with your consistancy and accuracy.

Not sure how I missed this being finished.  I was following.  Maybe it's because you get them done so quickly!  The decal work is stunning, especially considering how many there were.  Absolutely fantastic.  Congrats on another great build!

Thanks scottrc, and ManCityFan!  Things will be slowing down now that the weather is finally nice.  I'll still work on stuff on rainy days though!

So... you're first post on this build was on June 6, and the pics you posted of this beautiful plane out in the sunshine was on June 9?

   You're amazing!  Great job.

Cheers, Mark

I am working on this exact kit   I purchased Tamiya Ts-17 Aluminum Silver Spray for the main color.  Any suggestions or concerns?  I'm all ears.

Spray it over a gloss black finish and you'll love the results. I can tell you that much. Lol

Very nicely done! 

Does it have to be a primer? 

Nope. It doesn't have to be a primer. You can even preshade with black and light grey and get the effect to show through the silver if you go light enough.

But the more shiny your base black, the shinier the silver will be.

How did you mask the air-brake and wheel wells?

M. Brindos, Thanks for the tip. I'm not quite up to airbrushing yet so would I put the grey over the black?
