This is Revell's
F-86D Sabre Dog, kit# 5844. The kit has been built OOB with only two
pieces of stretched spru added in the aft-cockpit area. The Decals are
also OOB...my wife picked the scheme!!! This is my first attempt at a NMF
using Alclad II paints, Polished Aluminum (ALD 105) for the airframe and
Duraluminum (ALC 102) for the outer exhaust area.

On my next NMF I will use
Tamiya's gloss black instead of Alclads gloss black, the latter took
weeks to cure delaying the build. The center wing panels and Tail
cap is Model Master paint (Gull Gray FS 36440), and (Dark Green FS
34079) for the anti-glare. Pictures were taken outside on a clear
day...it was windy and disaster struck as I was reaching to pick up the
model, it went airborn!!! Damage was very light, touch-ups on
going.
