F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 BOX PACKAGEAirplane plastic model. This time, I wanted to build a jet fighter after a long absence. It is the F-86F of the Taiwanese (the Republic of China) air force. I remember making Royal Canadian Air Force Sabre a long time ago.
This Rio Olympics generally has many medal counts of Japan and warms up in Japan. It’s good that the competition is not seen as normally being telecasted live.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGI need to adjust the pilot position and control stick because it does not reach and cannot hold it.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGThe color of the pilot suit of the Republic of China Air Force, I think it may be almost the same color as the U.S.A.F.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGFor the jet fighter of the first generation, there is not much equipment: this time, mounting drop tanks and Sidewinder missiles.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGI painted a silver part of the air intake and the exhaust vent. I don’t need to paint because I think I used the red cover on the top and the open part.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGSeveral rounds and flat metal fragments have been put in. I need to keep in mind to put the weight on the nose. The indication is 5g, but I used 10g to ensure the balance.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGThere was a parting line on the canopy. I sharpened it with sandpaper and finally improved the shine with my compound.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGPreparations before blowing off a fuselage are various. One of them is the masking of a canopy.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 MAKINGI explored the way of using the masking gum and used it in this way. After painting it, the masking gum squeezed up in the landing gear did not fall. When it isn’t painted, it’s falling with gravity a little like an amoeba. Possibly is it convenient?

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGThe small parts are attached this time because it was a full-scale silver painting.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGAn indication of the jet engine exhaust is a burnt iron color. I tried a little mixed with metallic and clear orange. The finish on the backside was rough, and I can see the parting line a little. There was a visible parting line. I must be improved.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGThe upper end of the vertical tail is painted gray; this part is often forgotten. It is easier if this part is a decal.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGMaking them stick a little more is necessary, but I have finished sticking several decals, which seem the most difficult. Tamiya Mark Fit Strong is not stronger than I thought.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 PAINTINGThe painting of the accessory was over, too. It is almost completed.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKThey had a significant relationship with the United States Armed Forces. F-86F was given from the United States in 1955, and the Republic of China (Taiwan) applied 320 or more. Many countries, including Taiwan, the Philippines, Korea, and Japan, received the help of armaments in those days from the United States to protect them from the menace of communism.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKI use Mr. Color No.8 silver mainly. Then, I put the contrast with mixed clear blue with silver and rather dark silver.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKI attached the red metal covers to the front and back. I fasten it with adhesive coming off neatly provisionally. I used to fix it temporally with clean removable adhesive.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKThe orange light is a good accent.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKA canopy isn’t usually finished successfully. I have done slightly well this time.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKThe decal on the nose is necessary to stick to a relatively complex curved surface. I didn’t stick them easily without becoming wrinkled. I failed a little. Should I watch the progress until drying?

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKDecals are often stuck and overlaid. There are some places little crooked.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKA black part of the nose tip is a freehand drawing. There was no decal. Is it difficult to put it on a curved surface, even if I had one?

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKThe decals connected points that are not finely pasted. I adjusted the lower part; it’s challenging to be seen during a display.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKIt was hard in many tiny decals, and I built a jet after a long time. I feel a sense of precision was up with them.

F-86F SABRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA TAIWAN HASEGAWA 1/48 FINISHED WORKCould it be better built than the Royal Canadian Air Force Saber I tried in ancient times? The Tiger Thunder of the Republic of China Air Force marking is cool. F-86 Sabre has various decals; it’s one of the fun factors of aircraft modeling.
