  Kit

  This Is Monogram's 1/48 F-86 Sabre Dog built OOB 

  Construction

  I brought this kit back in 2002 at my local hobby shop, and started building the kit in 2006. I then move onto other kits and lost interest in the Sabre Dog. 2008 saw the return of interest in the Sabre Dog and I finished it off. Monogram has a supplied a reasonable kit with recessed panel lines. However I didn't think that the cockpit was that well detailed so I opted to stick the pilot in the cockpit and close the canopy.The overall assembly was pretty straight forward  and went together with little fuss.

  Painting and Finish

  The overall kit was airbrushed in Model Master aluminium with a clear gloss over the top for the decals. After the decals were applied I then applied another cote of gloss clear with a follow up of the wash pastel chalk, and then a cote of matt paint to seal in the chalk.

  Monogram also added a tractor and trolley to go along with the kit, which adds a nice touch to the finished display.

  Thanks
