Specs
 

What are the specs of the F86, I went to Trim's site and did not see the specs listed. Can you buy Trim products here in the U.S.?
Are there any U.S. Reps?
Thanks

I wish i have a sabre for every color scheme I like.
what determines my choice of color is some wonderful stuff
I just received called flight metal. (thanks ED)
I have to put some on my jet.
The skyblazer is one of my favorite, but this means I have to cover the entire jet.
I am going to do a minute men modified scheme.
I ll post pics later
Thanks Charlie H & Ken F. for all your help

Neat, Im doing Minute Men on mine also. But probably painting the silver instead of using chrome tape of some sort for simplicity.

Sabre,

Looooookin' goooooood!!!!! I wish mine was that far along....How did you do the silver around the inlet??? Flight Metal, paint????

Kevin

Very Nice !
 

I'm surprised that "she who must be obeyed" allows you to do your modelling in the lounge !

How do you keep it so clean ?

My modelling room looks like sad-hams bunker.

Man, in Kuwait it's the other way round...."We Rule and are obeyed".Hehehe

The nose was done with flite metal.
last year a guy from south America (forgot his name), showed pictures on this forum of his JHH sabre all covered in flite metal.
I e-mailed him to know how he did the nose. he said that he did the nose using only 6 pieces of flite metal.
I dont know where this guy is, but I think he is a genius.
It took me more than 6 pieces.

good to hear from you Cairoman.
You are lucky to bathe in JetA daily.
I have to go through so much trouble, and pull many strings to get some.

Sabre,
Keifak ya basha, or should I say Shlonak ya Khayii!!

The reason for "bathing" is because I still haven't found a proper method to transfer Jet-A from the 50 GAL. drum to the field tank.

So, you come to Cyprus and come flying with me, how about that!

Chris

Sabre,

Can you post some pics of the nose????


THANKS!!! Kevin

Sabre's Sabre Nose...
 

Flite-Metal will stretch to conform in all directions. That was probably Pedro Garabello's F-86. I don't have the 3VU handy...as I recall, there are six drop formed inlet pieces on the full size.

Here's Rene Alverez's F-86 images:

I was afraid you ask me that. but here is a picture of the lip.
flite metal is not hard to use, but needs a learning curve.
I tried different things and I came up with a pattern that will look good from close range, and will disappear when you step just a few feet away from it.

I'm wondering how to do this part myself on my BVM F-86. Seems like it'll be a lot of pulling and stretching to get it around the inside of the inlet.
