1/24 F-86F

THANK YOU! I have wanted 1/32 YF-16 for 40 years. I got to sit in cockpit of one of first two test birds at Edwards AFB. My Dad ran the weapons shop.

Sorry, having problems with pictures

I used the 2003 version with outstanding decal sheet. I also used fantastic Fisher resin cockpit set. Shawn B.

Of course, just my luck!

I tried to build this in high school, I never accomplished it. It was thrown out some way. I picked up another kit recently. I added some Eduard cockpit PE and I dropped flaps. I also added resin seats. I had to do some surgery in pit area. The cockpit open area was also too big. I am well aware that Trumpeter makes this aircraft but I wanted the Revell kit. Shawn G

Just now seeing this, INCREDIBLE! I have converted the same model to YF-15. I kept gun because one of the test birds did gun testing. Shawn Bemo

YES! YES! YES! 1/32 X-1B on my wish list for decades. Thank you Paul, Shawn G.

FANTASTIC build, one of my all time favorite planes. Dad was stationed at Bunker Hill (Grissom AFB) when these were there. My sister and I got to sit in parked B-58 cockpit at an air show. Shawn G.

Another relatively "quick" builds, I used Revell/Germany issue. I used kit decals and original 1970's decals from my stash. I did use a few resin items from Verlinden. Same day I finished this, I started Revell P-51B. Btw, I do have Trumpeter F4U and P-51bB, in case you are wondering. Shawn Bemo

You need Hasegawa F-5, F-18 engine, and F-16 main gear. I bought another F-5E at model show specifically for 1/32 project. As I said in my article, you would need to scratch build wings, vertical tail, and main gear doors. Shawn G

Boy wouldn't that be nice. I have Revell X-1 in 1/32. It would be nice for conversion set to make X-1B.

This is reissue with updated decals. All rivets were sanded off and gear is from Eduard X-1. Finish is Alclad, pitot tubes are aluminum tube, and seat is from Monogram F-80. Shawn G.

I used maybe 50% of Attic resin conversion. I made wings, vertical tail, and canards. The decals are shite, but made best of it. I used model (can't remember brand) with resin cockpit for front section. I used F-18 Hornet engine and the main gear is mostly from F-16. Shawn G.

Yes Harvey, long overdue for new tooling. Thank you
