F-86T Sabre-Hawk

[Captain Canada]

Baz....you're a T tailed freak of nature !

Rock on, dude !

I love it !

   

You should be building Avro Canucks ad nauseum !

Of course, you're gonna finish it in RCAF colours......right ?

Hi Bazz,
INSPIRATIONAL WORK.

DONE WITH FINESS AND GREAT EXPERTISE

ALLAN IN CANBERRA

Why do I keep thinking that a cross between an Avon-Sabre and an F-86D or F-86K would look most interesting?

[Radish]

The Yugoslavs converted some of their F-86Ds to photo recon aircraft. Cool.
This F-86D looks superb. I prefer a RCAF Sabre in camo though.
One has DEFINITELY got to be done!
The "new" Italeri 1/48th F-86E/F has markings for RCAF, along with a number of other options. It's from ESCI, a dream to build and looks good with recessed lines, etc.. While not as good as the Academy offering, it's at least £4 cheaper.
Got to get a couple for a "line-up" as the RCAF and RAF markings in it will prove useful.
Also, why not a Navy F-86D?
:ar:

Hmmmmm.... Navy F-86D...

I think I  know a great paint scheme fae that...  

[elmayerle]

Also, why not a Navy F-86D?

Would that be a "simple" FJ-2NE, a re-engined one (with larger intake) as a FJ-3NE, or a totally redone one, which was considered, as a FJ-4NE?

Baz, you're the best    :ar:

Speaking of Sea Hawks.....

[John Howling Mouse]

I'm doing a T-Tail Hunter F1 if anyone's interested...  AND there's a all thru Sea Hawk project - the P.1068 -  with a T Tail, think Sea Hawk with a Hunter style tailpipe.

T-Tails, you say?

I'M interested!

Making me misty-eyed already.  When can we see pics?

 

[Geoff_B]

This Help ?

[John Howling Mouse]

Ha, I thought so!  Nice T-Tail!  There was another one, just hidden by something else and I couldn't quite make it out...what is this?  Oh, damn fine-looking ships, btw!

[Geoff_B]

The SR177 were other T-Tails on this weekend stand

[Ollie]

I must congrat you guys for the wonderful job you're doing, creting all those British projects!

   

[Swamphen]

Oooohh!!!        

Is that a delta Lightning I see off to the right?  

And what's that bird behind it?  

Ya know, sometimes I wish I lived in...uh, nevermind.    Maybe Australia, tho...  B)  

[nev]

Great lineup guys  

Although......I don't know how it looked in real life, but that camo netting isn't the best backdrop in that photo - a bit dark and kinda the thing I'm not allowed to say the eyes.  Or maybe it was just the notoriously poor lighting at these events
