smithery Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 She looks different now, but here are some walk-around shots of Hawk One I took prior to her repaint. Hawk One walk around
LSP_K2 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I really enjoy this, as I've always liked the Sabre. One of these days I'll get cracking on my kit.
James Craik Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 At last I have a question. There is a halfring protuding from the right side of the fuselage filled with some rubberlike compound. Seems this is common to all sabres. Anyone has a hint? Gatow_07_022.jpg For now that's all. If this topic lives long enough maybe I can get some more information in autum. That little hump is just an air disruption device to create suction for the oil cap scupper drain, which is the little hole just in front of the bump.
P-51D Man Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I like detail shots like this. They help out alot on projects. LSP_K2 1
alex1688 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Really appreciate your sharing. I learned the legacy of F-86 back in the early ‘60 over the Taiwan Strait conflict.
One-y Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 In case this wasn't already posted! Fantastic reference pics and materials. http://yocumusa.com/sweetrose//2017megalinks.htm F-4Phanwell and sandokan 2
Hacker Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 On 1/20/2009 at 5:03 PM, junkers88a1 said: more details from left wheelbay Two questions. One what colour green is that and two does this also apply to the Sabredog as well? hacker
D.B. Andrus Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 The color appears to be Zinc-chromate green. It is still available in spray cans under aviation coatings. Be careful spraying, it's noxious and toxic. HTH, D.B.
Ayovan Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 One of my all time favorite aircraft. I actually built a few RC ducted fan F-86 models (Still have a 1/8th scale kit stashed in the garage) and have been sitting on a Hasegawa 1/32 kit for, well...a LOOOONG time. I have a lot of documentation some where for "Beautious Butch II". Capt. Joseph McConnell's F-86-F Korea circa 1953. This thread just ignited an old flame for me. Just might have to make this my next project.
