The Matchbox "F-86A" (it's a caricature) can also be mentioned in the same breath as the Lindberg "F-86A", which isn't worthy of the name either. Not mentioned in this thread , assuming I've used the search function correctly. The Matchbox kit isn't ideal, I agree. I used to live near Shepherds Grove, where the first F86As in England were based, hence the interest. Sabrejet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have an interest: I have an as-yet unpublished manuscript detailing the 81st FGp/FW/FIW/FBW Sabre period. One day maybe...

Ooh, I'll keep an eye out for that. My late Father witnessed them arriving: "a long stream of Sabres flying over", he said; he was driving at the time, and just pulled over and watched. Sadly I wasn't even "a twinkle in his eye" at that time, I would have loved to see it. Rockie Yarwood, Kagemusha and Sabrejet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Whatever happened to the Italeri/Kinetic F-86F? Was it a poor seller? Looking forward to Trumpeter reboxing the kitty bird Sabre Dog too. Really could do with more fifties jets: Mystère, Super Mystère, Thunderstreak, Thunderflash, Voodoo, Deuce & Six and, fast-forwarding a bit, Trumpeter please reissue your EE/BAC Lightning kits. I need two more of the F.2A/6 ! Tony thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been one on eBay recently, went for £63 or so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284783829344?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=PkcrNZLpRsS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=w2jjBMGFRh-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I could add to my list the following: Handley Page Halifax, we have a Lancaster, a B-17 and a B-24 so why not. Short Stirling, see above Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Handley Page Hampden And of course the Wellington I probably won't mention the Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle even though it did in the end do some serious work.
