Pmodel.net F86f Sabre (Blue Impulse)
Before I received their (Pmodel.net) T-2 CCV, I wanted to see how they went together. So I grabbed the free sample, which is the F86f Sabre, in the Blue Impulse aerobatics livery.
Rushing into it, i forgot to make tab strips for the first few fuselage rings (though i did remove the one that closes each ring). That one looks funny though, like a shark mouth. The inside. I don't think the wings were supposed to droop so much... I solved that with a single florist wire running from wingtip to wingtip, even though i already closed them. It's nice and straight now, so I am planning on inserting a piece of florist wire to the horizontal tail stabilizers as well.

Well, here's an update:
Had to forego the florist wire in the tail though. Fuselage completed: It isn't straight... Had a little trouble with the exhaust and the various folds below the tail. Up next are the stand and the fuel tanks, but forgot to take pictures when i was constructing them, so my next post will show the completed model.

Here's the finished Blue Impulse Sabre.
I hope you liked the build-through!

Nice Sabre!!! That's a nice clean build too. Did the plane build up similar to an FG type plane? I didn't see any formers in your pics, so I'm guessing so.

Hello Legion,
your model give a nice impression of my favourit jet fighter - the one and only Sabre. I think it's a quick and easy printout to build the whole squadron? With lovely greetings the Wilfried |

No formers at all, it's just the basic shape holding it together. Easy and quick build too. Now i just need a fresh set of ink cartridges and hack away at the T-2 CCV.
To answer your question, Wilfried, you'd need a gold version as well. And i'm not sure if this plane is even correctly numbered. There are more Blue Impulse (and man other versions) for sale at pmodel.net though.
