This is Italeri’s 1/48 F-86E I cut open the leading edge slats.
This is the Hasegawa F-86F OOB superscale decals.
here they are together for comparison.
Awesome looking Sabres… you did a great job. What did you use for your NMF?
Beautifull pair of Sabres Mark! You should be proud of those two.

Yes, I second that question about the bare metal and also…how would you rate hasegawa’s kit to the Italeri one?
Thanks,
Tank
awesome NMF!
sweet builds of one of my favorite jets of all time. Love the NMF!!! Please share the secret!!
Great looking Sabre’s! Very nice finish.
Thanks for the comments guys. The NMF is Alclad over Plasticoat grey automotive primer. The Hasegawa kit is much more detailed than the Italeri kit but the dimension are almost identical.
Very nice clean & crisp builds. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous Sabers! I especially like the colorful markings of that second jet.
I JUST finished my Academy F-86F last week. Fun build. Love the jet! Frank
They both look great. I too, especially like the NMF finish. I haven’t done this finish yet but am thinking about applying it to some version fo a B-25.
Very … very nice work … great subject … always liked the look of the F-86 … they just liked like fighter a/c … thanks for sharing … [swg]
Dem’s niiiiice lookin’…
Italeri 48th F-86? You happen to know if that’s the old ESCI kit or is it Italeri’s own mold?
Fade to Black…
It’s the old Esci kit not much detail.
