BRITISH SABRES...lots.

[Daryl J.]

For the Yank 1/72 builders, Hasegawa are set to re-release the F-86D which features not only decent detail, but the proper (almost) sweep wings.   Perhaps the UK had use for them yes?   All white even, Radish?

I've yet to start the Academy Sabres ordered in from Luckymodel to do as 74 Squadron and Red tailed grey/grey Sabre F.x  machines.   

Gotta love the F-86 eh?

Don't forget Special Hobbies' F-86K in 1/72.

[Radish]

I've got a couple of "Hogs" on order from Hannants (it'll take them weeks to deliver!) but plenty of other Sabres to play with.
An all-white TEST aircraft?

Well, since the RAF are so in love with their Sabres, how about they order the Hun & F-107?  I can't see the names Super Sabre & Ultra Sabre being taken up the RAF, how about Rapier & Excalibur?  Claymore maybe, sounds clunky though?

Rapier F.1, F-100A
Rapier F(R).1A, RF-100A
Rapier F.2, F-100C
Rapier FG.3, F-100D
Rapier T.4, TF-100F

Excalibur FG.1, F-107A
Excalibur T.2, F-107 two seater
Excalibur FGR.2 F-107 combat capable two seater.

I like the idea of RAF Rapiers and Excaliburs.

How about an F-86 in anti-flash white scheme as a nuclear test chase plane?

[Radish]

Or a Hog delivering a tac nuke?

I like the idea of the F-100 and F-107 too.
Especially the '107.
Those who've seen my USAF Vietnam F-107 can expect to see an RAF F-107 in Far Eastern colours.

Madness...just ordered 6 more F-86s This 1/72nd scale is GOOD.

Well, since the RAF are so in love with their Sabres, how about they order the Hun & F-107? 

Oh yes! Especially the F-100... what a looker!

[SPINNERS]

Oh. And, of course, the RAF must re-equip 112 Sqd with F-100's - natch.
