The first jet era dog fighter. Happy to present this amazing F-86 Sabre that become famous during the Korean War.
This academy kit is fabulous and has options to present with the engine separated from the fuselage. I used an aluminium oil paint spray can for the body of the jet and shaded a few panels in dark tones to show that they were replaced.

For the cockpit I used the Camel and fevicryl acrylics . For me, applying the large decals was a challenge as they tend to tear quite easily and spoil the entire look. I struggled particularly with the decal behind the cockpit that extends all the way beneath the wings. At the end, managed to get them just right.
