I finally finished the Pro Modeler F-86D, Sabre Dog in 1/48.  It's a very good kit.  Not much to say about the kit or build that haven't been said in other reviews.

I used the Cutting Edge decals sheet for this model instead of the kit decals.  Beside for the color correction purpose, the kit decals is very good.  I used most of the stencils from the kit.  I didn't put all of them on.  

Cutting Edge instruction stated that on this particular a/c, "Dennis the Menace", the "Devil Cat" does not have the eyes on the cat, but the tail does have the bushy part at the tail end of the marking.  I went on the USAF Museum web site, and there it was.  The cat does have eyes on this a/c.  I don't know who's right, but I like mine with eyes, so...I put them on.  I used SnJ paint and polished it with SnJ powder for this project.  I recommend this kit to all.  Enjoy the pictures.
