easily fixed with aftermarket parts.
And as I have said, the kit’s decals
looked a little suspect to me, but I
think mine may have been a little
old so please don’t pre-judge them
based on my loose assessment!
I loved building this model and
I am very pleased how she turned
out, and if you fancy trying your
hand at a metallic finish, this kit
really is a great option to choose.
I wish HobbyBoss would try their
hand at an F-86 Sabre in this scale.
What a nice kit that would be!PROS:
Great fit, detail, moulding, and
contoured metal nose weights.
Separate flying surfaces. Metal
undercarriage, crystal clear
canopy. Great value for money..CONS:
Too few to mention! The resin seat
is a must-have, in my opinion,
considering the lack of seat belts
and the low cost of a replacement.“THIS MODEL WAS TOP NOTCH
AND GREAT FUN. IT BUILDS
INTO A REALLY SUBSTANTIALLY
LARGE, HEAVY MODEL”
