ASAT is major part of story. Caracal decals (Except pilot info),Resin-Cast Exhaust, True details Seat, Eduard instrument panel. Thanks for Looking Comments More than Welcome Bill

Gill that is SMOKIN...Love It Bill

Beautiful Natural Metal Finish Gill. May be a little large for Carry-On to Texas..😃 Great work Bill

This F-86 was not a bad kit at all. Fit was acceptable and although a little weak in some details, overall the exterior is quite nice. Thanks for the feedback Bill

Thanks Gil . It is 1/72nd and a Hobbycraft kit.They do the best F-86 in that scale (in my Opinion) I post here but it's a bit lackluster on reply or feedback. I'll keep kicking the can down the street, who knows Cheers Bill

Greetings This is my last Hartmann aircraft.(for a little bit). I plan on a collection display after contacting "Bases by Bill" for an assist This is the very nice Hobbycraft F-86 Canadair Mk 6 with slated wing. Flown by Erich Hartmann after his rejoining of the West German Air Force. A few additions to kit, sugar scoops on fuselage sides, wine bottles seal seatbelts, scratch-built intake F.O.D. covered added a missing vent on upper port fuselage. The model was completed with Alclad metals over gloss black Tamiya rattle can. Sealed with Alclad Aqua Gloss. Markings are from the Peddinghaus manufacturer. They are a bit of challenge to cut each decal but they work fantastic and settle down super. The clear mostly disappears over the Alclad Aqua Gloss Thanks For Looking Comments Always Welcome Cheers Bill D

Very Nice work Gil...Natural Metal was great

Thank you for the Positive feedback.As a Longtime judge for IPMS Im afraid she would not meet the criteria, however my plans may change Thanks again Bill

Thanks guys

This was mind flush built straight out of box and not concerned about inaccuracies(IE Intake shapes). This was a very easy kit to build.I thought it was well engineered and went together quite well. I used the IPMS National decals for the Korean War F-80. The decals were fantastic. The model was finished in numerous shades of Alclad over Tamiya Gloss Black (rattle can decanted). The Alclad Aqua Gloss was used and worked great with the decal clear. This model was built straight out of box and was a pleasure to build. Thanks for Looking and Comments always welcome Cheers Bill

Well Done Gil Happy Holidays.

Loved Visiting Telford This Year. SIGs, Clubs and phenomenal interactions with modelers. One thing that did strike me though, although IPMS branch's as far away as Israel were represented, No IPMS USA display. Although it was good to see more than 1/2 dozen Americans in attendance. This was at least my 5th visit as a group from Pittsburgh tries to visit every other year. "DAM YOU COVID". Special thanks to USAF SIG who host us from Pittsburgh and treat us much better than we deserve.
