This is
my first submission to ARC. So here it goes. This is the Academy
F-86-F Sabre Jet, The kit was built OOB. The kit was pretty straight
forward good fit no real gaps to speak of. I built this for an upcoming
contest. I think it came out pretty good so I'm building 2 more shiny jets
an F-84 and an F-94.

I
used the Alclad II aluminum paint for the fuselage and Testors Metalizers
for the details. The markings are from Aeromaster (I was impressed
by the amount of thinking ahead that Aeromaster makes you do to prepare
your paint to match the decals) the decals laid nicely with an application
of Solvaset.
This
was a fun project and the Academy kit is really nice.
I
really like using Alclad paints they hold up to masking really well and hold
their color even under clear coats.
