blackbetty Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I still can´t leave the early jets/Korean war aera, just so many interesting subjects. i have done an F-80, F-84, F3D, Mig-15, Yak-23, Mig-9, F4U, panther and skyraider, still wanting an F-51, but i am waiting for the release of a later revell kit.... but something is missing, the jet most people think of first when they think of the Korean war i have the Kinetic kit with Harolds nose, gunpanel, pit and wheels. just ordered the CMK airbrake (i know its for the Hasegawa kit, but it includes the amunition compartment door/crew step that seems to be open on every other Sabre pic) Edited September 24, 2019 by blackbetty Out2gtcha, Alain Gadbois, Lenny320 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 That being said, i have not found a single pic of the aircraft, can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Sorry Karl, cannot help with the pictures, but I'll surely follow along - this is going to be a very interesting build (I fancy doing a F-86 myself - one day maybe ). Good Luck. Lothar Edited May 14, 2019 by Lothar blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Same as Lothar, I dont have any pics of the airframe, but I am surely looking forward to this one Karl! Hopefully one of our Sabre SMEs can help blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) started with fitting Harolds corrected gun panel to the forward fuselage, careful cutting through the very thick plastic is in order Edited May 16, 2019 by blackbetty D.B.

blackbetty Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 CMK makes a nice resin set for the Hasegawa Sabre. it not only contains the airbrake wells and brakes, but also ammunition compartment/crew access step Out2gtcha, D.B.

blackbetty Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) these parts will fit the Kinetic/italeri kit with minor mods as it turned out. some heavy duty grinding by dremel is on order to make these fit size is pretty close Edited May 16, 2019 by blackbetty LSP_Kevin and D.B.

blackbetty Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 i also cut off the pit floor from the intake to fit Harlods resin pit LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and D.B. Andrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 next, the resin sidewalls of the pit were fitted and the pit tub adjusted in height to fit these and the rear deck LSP_Kevin, Durangokid and Biggles87 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) being for the hasegawa kit, the ammo compartment will need some fitting, but its secured to the fuselage Edited May 20, 2019 by blackbetty Out2gtcha and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 ...as the airbrake wells will need sampe plastic bits at the front LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha, Lothar and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
