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 moved 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 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
coat of gloss clear with a follow up of the wash pastel chalk, and then a coat
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.
