This is a Hasegawa Sabre kit I just finished for Muckers “Forgotton War GB.” I used a KMC resin CP, Alclad, and AeroMaster decals to finish the model. The fit was very good except for nose cap which needed some tweaking.

Thanks for looking…Jerry

Very nice indeed dragonfly. Makes me want to build a few jets now, however my real love is the WWII planes. Thanks for sharing your work dragonfly

Nice work, Jerry. I wish I could do plumbing as cleanly as you did those speed brake wells.

Jerry- It is always a pleasure seeing the work that comes off your bench. I don’t know how you do it, but those models just look “real”. Fantastic stuff as usual. [bow]

Would this one be making the trip to Columbus, by any chance?[;)] Fantastic work. I’m very very impressed. I really really really want to make a F-86 now…

Jerry most excellent. Glad you didn’t take the picture outside, the reflection would have blinded all of us.[swg]
