Kinetic's F-86 has some really nice points to it..but there lurks some nasties as well canopy just doesn't cut it..lacking the curves.so mastered a new one and vac formed it.








The nose was my biggest concern..WT???

So why are you doing it you ask? Because of the surface detail and the proper cockpit dimensions.Have a feeling this will look more the part than Hasegawa's offering when it's parked.
Tom did get one thing right..looks OK straight out of the box, well...if you don't get too close.
This last pic is something I've been chipping away at for a while..but I'll let someone else go there...PS. they look really nice in place cause now you can see everything. more to come.Cheers all.
