Nick & Justin: Wow, those look fantastic guys!
"I dream in fire but work in clay." -Arthur Machen
Finally had the opprotunity to get on a computer (rather than a tablet)to load some photos-Imgur is a bit of a PITA to use on mobile...
Here are a few photos of my Airfix 1/72 F86 Sabre. If most Airfix kits are like this, I will start buying Airfix! The assembly was simple and smooth! It didnt take long to get to this stage at all!
Next up is a primer coatto check seams, and onto the color. Bare metl, probably the Duraluminum that Crown is spraying....lol
"...failure to do anything because someone else can do better makes us rather dull and lazy..."
Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
Justin. many thanks.
I started the primer and gave coat of metal color dural aluminium.
some drying time now.
Nick.
That sounds cool Justin.
I haven't forgotten about this GB either. Just busy with other stuff. I'm hoping to get back to the F-51D before too long.
Crown, that Corsair looks Fantastic!
Guys, I haven't forgotten the group build. I was recently temporarily transferred to a different one of our shops that is super busy so I haven't had the same type of lunch time availability to stop by the site to update with pics...
I have begun the Airfix 1/72 Sabre. It is. Nice little kit! Cleano assembly, seams are minimal. I will post some photos soon, hopefully
That pic will work; I’ll add it to the front page!
I’ll keep an eye out for your Sabre, too. :)

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” - John 3:16-17
Gamera. thank you the pics were rushed.
John. Yeah. many thanks but again lighting all around, I wish one bolt was in the the shot!
John 3:16. I appreciate it thanks again. I like this pic what do you think?
with this title Lt Guy Bordelon VC-3 NAVY ACE July 1953.
Good work, crown!
What’s your favorite picture for the front and what would you like to title your art?
Really nice, Nick, love the photos. However, on the last one the short focal length makes the pilot look fat!

Nick: That looks perfect!!! Great show!!!
Many thanks fella's
Gamera. The kit decals worked out well.
John 3:16. I'm waiting on some paint for the F-86.
The corsair in done got some pics before the afternoon rain comes.
crown- Good work on your Sabre so far! :)
Justin - Congrats on your finish! I’ve never airbrushed acrylics before; did Vallejo airbrush well?
I’ll add your chosen pictures to the front page when y‘all are ready and have the pics you want. Until then, what do you wish to name/title your entries?
Nick: That looks awesome! That's cool how the starboard wing insignia wraps around the radome, but I guess it would have to.
Nice start there on the Sabre!
I started on the F-86 ,cockpit,exhaust and airbrake wells. I do plan to use Vajello metal colors. I tried them on a test mig 21 looks pretty good.
Gamera Justin: That looks good! So are you still working on the in-flight base?
Justin: That looks good!
So are you still working on the in-flight base?
it is still in the planning phase, but I sure am!
Gamera,John3 ;16,Falcon and Justin. thank you for your kind words.
Justin. thats a nice shiny Chinese mig 15 !!
This is the belly of the corsair with fuel tanks no rockets .. its pretty much done waiting for weather to clear for some out door pics.
Crown, that Corsair looks Topps!
John, I'm interested to see what you do with those "dirty commies"! Lol
I've finished with my MiG 15....
Thank you, Gamera!
John 3: 16: Those look good! Nice work on the figures and looking forward to seeing what you do with the T-34.
Nick: Again nice work. So close now!
Love the weathering on your corsair! looks great.

John3:16. Thank you. Those figures are fanstatic nice job on details. I'm looking forward to the tank!!
The F4U-5N is waiting on ordinance now.. my latest pics.
Good job with your Corsair, crown!
So, I‘ve stalled long enough:
Installment 2:
If you haven’t seen Installment 1 or the explanation of my planned project, you can check out page 6 of this thread. The posts are near the end of the page I think.
Meanwhile, I now have the tank for my project. It came straight from Russia— literally...
...and it even came with an extra mini-tank!
As for the figures:
Well, I changed the color of the first one’s boots, added some buttons, and a tin foil gun strap:
Other figures I’ve started:
Yeah me too.. I have an old monogram 86 on the shelf and now I remember why, too many broken parts so back to moth balls it goes.
I gave a light coat of Vallejo clear flat to knock off some the gloss, some small stuff to do.
Nick: Cool, looking forward to seeing what you do with her!
Justin: The 1/72nd F-86 sounds cool too!

OOoohhh...Cool! I've got the Airfix 1/72 Sabre on deck after finishing the MiG!
Cant wait to see yours started!
That's cool Nick, are you building her as 'The Huff' or do you have other decals?
Absolutely, crown! I’ll add the Sabre to the roster!
