nmertes Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 In the June 2018 Fine Scale Modeler, Chuck Davis converted an Academy 1/72nd scale F-86E into an RF-86F. Somewhere down the road on my build list is to convert an Eduard (Hasagawa) 1/48th scale F-86F to an recon version. Does anybody know of a conversion kit or plans to do it without spending years in the process?
ghodges Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 Hasagawa actually released this kit, the RF-86 "Haymaker", so IF you can find it (sorta rare edition, I guess), it comes with all you need! Here's a link to an article I found on building it: https://modelairplanemaker.com/2020/06/26/1-48-hasegawa-rf-86-haymaker/ Good luck! Gil
nmertes Posted July 17, 2020 Author Report Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks for the info, Gil. I also have spent a lot of time at the museum in Dayton & have plenty of photos of the RF-86. I found the kit on ebay from a seller in Japan but, he wants $98.00 for it. Guess I'll keep it on the back burner for awhile. 1
