1/32 and 1/48 Hasegawa F-86 Sabres

Here are a couple Sabres.  The big one is the Hasegawa 1/32 Sabre with a CAM cockpit and Leading Edge decals to represent a Royal Canadian Air Force in Europe Sabre of 439 squadron.  This build gave me lots of headaches but all were my own fault.  Most obvious was the destruction of the landing gear to which the only fix was to build the plane in flight.

The smaller Hasegawa Sabre is the 1/48  Hasegawa F-86.  It was built OOB with the exception of the Leading Edge decals which represent a RCAF in Europe Sabre of 421 squadron.  This build went extremely easy and was built simply as it was in the stash for far too many years.  Also as I was all ready painting one Sabre I might as well paint two.

In the photos we also have some past builds, a number of them in 1/48 and a Kinetic one in 1/32.
