Juggernut Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) In case anyone's interested, a 1/18 F-86 and a 1/32 B-26 (it's labeled as an A-26 but I think that's wrong...)

LSP_K2 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'd grab that F-86 in a minute (if I had the bucks to spare). Out2gtcha and D.B. Andrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprue is not too far from here, so shipping should be cheap enough. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not end up pulling the trigger. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Hobby Boss kit is 1:18 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I would wrather have a beautifully done 1/32 f-86 than any 1/18 kit of the same. I would like a nice f-86 someday. It is not a must have though but a kit I would like to build if the right tooling ever comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of any major faults, but then I haven't really looked into it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) True a Sprue deal, but already got one hung up here. Now if they would do the Zero I could quit scoffing the triple Ebay prices. It's the one I passed up since there were stacks of 'em back in the day!

I'm not aware of any major faults, but then I haven't really looked into it either. The intake lip is obviously blunt, and the whole thing is festooned with divots. Otherwise, it's faults are minor (to me, anyway). AMS makes (made?) a new intake ring that corrects the shape of the nose.

Aside from that, I thought it had a few shape and detail issues but don’t recall the specifics. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main problem I know of is that with all the other modleing subjects it is not so amazing as to have made it to the level I want one. I know of nothing “wrong” with it, but it will probably take stellar for me to get to one. It is a plane I like but has not made it to the level of I have to have one.
