Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did! Let me know what you think down below! - Thame Valley Scale Model Club: www.thamesvall... - #hobby #scalemodels #aircraft #usaf #airforce #airfix #f86 #sabre #thehuff
I would suggest sealing base metallic coat before masking I use testors metalizer sealer which I bought lotsa bottles of before it was discontinued.😁 Jman
I'm a little late to this one, but that's a great build as always. This is a nice model, no doubt, but it's obvious the bean counters have had a say on this one, and corners have been cut. It's not a patch on earlier releases such as, say, the Meteor F-8, Javelin, and Spit PR XIX. Airfix dropped the ball on this one. They had the opportunity to snatch the laurels from Hasegawa, who, in mo, still hold the crown as the best 1/48 F-86 currently available.(Nothing wrong with Academy's offering, either). Once again, lovely build.👍
Nice build - just FYI the national insignia changed when the US Air Force was established (formally it was the US Army Air Force) so the Mustang national insignia are from the USAAF era - the addition of the red linear line denotes it as USAF.
thanks for the suggestion! when looking at references the panel lines on the sabre didn’t really stand out to me… looked very smooth so that’s why i opted not to define them even more using a panel wash!
Ill try my best but as im an 12 y/o it might not look very good like urs plus i will use brush painting and not airbrush :( but as always beautoful plane !!!!
The F-86 was the best fighter of that time. You complain about the lack of detail in the cockpit but don`t add any extra parts? You sound like you can`t be bothered. Also, the U.S. military added a red bar to the national insignia from 1947 you should have added that. I`ve seen some behind the scenes videos, and for all details the have to design and make, it adds to the cost.
hey david, so my general approach to models for youtube videos is to be “out of box builds” as I want to provide an accurate representation of what the manufacturer provides or what the decal manufacturer provides. To say that I sound like I can’t be bothered is rather short sighted of you as I don’t think you understand the amount of effort that goes into making these sort of videos. But I appreciate the feedback :)
and also, when it comes to pricing etc for details how can tamiya deliver so much more in a similar price range (F16C) with so much more detail? i’m genuinely curious?
@@machmodels I suppose it`s how serious you are about your modelling. Do you want 10 parts for the cockpit or just basic components? Some people buy a kit and add parts to upgrade the basic kit, some don`t. There are a few youtubers that were invited to Airfix, and its not as big an organisation as you might think.
I agree with upgrading a kit when it’s perhaps a little cheaper but when your paying about £50 for a kit I would expect there to be more than adequate detail in the cockpit especially as it’s 1:48… perhaps that’s just me being too used to tamiya kits though.

Interesting! Haven’t heard of that before👌🏻

Thank you very much Mark! I think I have to agree with you, but for them I hope and think it has all been part of their learning curve👌🏻😁

Great work mate, those decals looked to be a huuuge pain
thank you dude! yeah those decals kicked my butt a bit🤣
@@machmodels I’m surprised you didn’t order a new set after that dragon🤣
i was so close to getting some new ones🤣
Nice Sabre. Re metallics, I use Aclads over their own gloss black primer and have never had a problem with paint lifting.
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll have to try it out
Nice build and finish 👍
thank you very much!
Excellent job 👍
thank you bud!!

thank you for letting me know!! i did think they looked a little different than usual but i couldn’t put my finger on it!! thanks again :)
Hello mister mach.of course your work deserves a thumb up.and i will give him to you. Thank you for sharing.
With sticky greetings.christian
Thank you sir!🤙🏻
USAF was at a transition point so technically the earlier insignia isn't totally incorrect!🤔
Jman
Whoops!
Great job buddy, NMF paint jobs can be a right pain but yours looks good..love the yellow really makes it pop
thank you bud!! glad you like it, i must agree the metal and the yellow really compliment each other!
Very cool!🤗
thank you! glad you like it :)
Looks cool.
thank you!! i’m glad you like it!!
Anoth er great looking build sir, of a very iconic aircraft, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍
thank you very much! i must agree the sabre is one of the icons of aviation!
nice work!
Thank you dude!✌🏼
Perfect ❤️
Thank you so much!
You definitely need to add a wash. At least that.
thanks for the suggestion! when looking at references the panel lines on the sabre didn’t really stand out to me… looked very smooth so that’s why i opted not to define them even more using a panel wash!

Thank you! At this stage just enjoy making them for yourself, no need to compare to anyone else as long as you’re having fun😁
I didnt know the usa used canadian built f86s😮😊
i might be wrong but i believe it was more designed by the canadians and built under contract by the north americans!!!
@@machmodels ok so they are built in canada by canaduans so they can stick us markings on them makes perfect sense
honestly i’m just as confused as you🤣
@@machmodels it would have been easier for you to say in using a mk5 sabre to make an f86f version.🤔🤔😆😆😆
goodness yes that’s a much better way of wording it! thank you very much :)
