nmertes 15 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 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? Link to post Share on other sites
ghodges 531 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 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 Link to post Share on other sites
nmertes 15 Posted July 17 Author Report Share Posted July 17 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 Link to post Share on other sites
