F-86D availability
 

Can someone point me in the direction of who makes an F-86D model? I know Byron used to make it......but looks like Ironbay doesn't have it in stock.
I found an F-86K (very similar) by Modelbau Ulrich but it looks kinda like a Cermark model. Would like something with more detail.
Anyone else makes one? I really (really) like the Skymaster, but they don't have the "D" model.

Thanks,

David

Yes, the Jetwelt one looks nicer ;)

Man that looks great. How much is it in USD?

I just bought one from Nitro Planes for $180. Looks pretty good. I am going to mount a turbine in the tail. Was designed for prop on the nose. Bob

Cool.....someone converted the prop jet to P-60 :-)

I like the jetwelt, however it states it can fly on 10kg = 22lb?? Looks big for a 22lb turbine (unless my conversion is screwed up).
I like it a lot better than Modelabu.

I'm looking at a possible Byron conversion, not that much difference than a Nitromodels except a lot more work! [8D]

That was so cool looking I just impulsively bought one.

I wonder how much lead is in the nose of that thing though :)

RE: F-86D availability
 

In the nitromodels typical terrible manual it shows the batteries and receiver right in the tailcone, so might not take much weight. It is just about the same size as the Byron I used to have, and the workmanship looks pretty good. Already set up for retracts too. For the price it is worth a try. I will work up a hatch in the belly for the turbine access. Wish it wasn't a D though! Bob

I friend of mine converted the Nitromodels to EDF. When he opened up the fuselage a Byron fan will fit inside with no problem.
