Another BVM F-86
 

Just finished putting the markings on my new BVM F-86. It still needs a scale cockpit and pilot installed, along with pitot tubes and other scale stuff. Since i am not a BVM rep i should not get in trouble by saying that this is the fines kit i have ever built. Everything fits perfectly and the manual is very detailed.

ProMark markings, PPG automotive paint, FTE T-500 turbine, Futaba radio. Should be ready to fly in a week.

Hi Craig,

Pro Mark makes the graphics for the FiberClassics sized one. I had one that size last year in the same scheme. It is supposed to have white stars on the nose fuselage band also, but I screwed them up, so I'm waiting for a new batch

Todd,

Fortunately I had the plane built and in primer before the accident. The only reason why i managed to get it painted was the my buddy Mike Hapsas did it for me. All I had to do in the detailing department was to paint some different shades of silver on the panels, steel wool it and add the marking. Since Mike paints ten times better than me, it worked out good :).

Scott,

The bombs are from Nick Ziroli and the tanks are from BVM.

Looking forward to see you guys at Florida Jets. Scott, are you bringing your F-86 also?
