Nic C.D. Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'd like to present you the second NMF kit I've done. The first one was Kitty Hawk's F-86 D Sabre Dog, this one is the Italeri F-86 F Sabre. Not the easiest of kits, but with some sanding and a lot of polishing, you get a decent looking Sabre. Here are a few quick shots of the result, I hope you like her. Not so easy to take photos of a shining kit ... here are a few close-ups. Italeri provides some great decals in the box. I've hesitated to do the RAF Sabre or the Italian Sabre, but eventually chose The Huff. Look at that great dragon! The yellow-and-black decorations are in available on the decal sheet, but I thought it would look better when painted. And here's a one other photo. The metal was done with my old Testers metal paints, everything else with Revell Aqua Colour. Weathering with watercolours. Thanks for watching !

Shaka HI Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 You implement any oil canning effect? Or am I imagining this? It's very subtle. Nic C.D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic C.D. Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thank you for the nice reactions! I'll make some more pictures later today and will post them. And Kevin, of course, please do! About the oil canning: well, it's actually a little in the kit and because it was, I added some more to it in some areas like the wings, the exhaust and some panels on the fuselage. The oil canning gives a really nice realistic sense to the paint, but I've been careful not to exaggerate the effect, so maybe it isn't easy to see. I also re-riveted some areas of the kit before polishing it. For the polishing, I used something that always works perfect for me: an old woolen scarf. After using that, the kit is really shiny and ready for the metal paint. Nic Shaka HI and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
