Default RE: Hobby King 70mm F-86 and Banana Hobby Mig15

Still flying my F-86, in fact I bought two more! My club is in the beginning of a boom of F-86's, just search "venom f-86" on ebay and you will see why. $125 shipped for one of these! I decided to spruce mine up a bit, so I made the molds for a cockpit kit, it's completely vacuum formed on just two small sheets of .015 plastic!

Also, the pilot is the Hobby King pilot, but the one you see in the pictures is a copy I made. I just could not cut the original up, so I made a silicone mold of him and cast it in resin. So yes, I did paint it myself, including the insignia on the helmet!

I'll be at the Randolph AFB air show this weekend at my clubs display if you want to see them in person or chat!

Later,

Luke
