EGGcraft F-86F Hasegawa kit ES-004 built 1981

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

EGGcraft F-86F Hasegawa kit ES-004 built 1981

Post by FAAMAN »

Thought I'd post this little cutie, one of several I've done (F-16, Space Shuttle, SR-71 still building).

N.A. F-86F Sabre EggCraft 1/72ish Hasegawa kit ES-004. Built OOB throughout 1981, lotsa probs masking the theater recognition stripes and getting them right. Quick to assemble but ...... oh well . The decals are now yellowing (a problem with Hasegawa's decals I've noticed) and so's the Testors Glosscoat varnish.

Squint, and it could almost be a Goblin!
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Nice! It certainly does almost look like a Goblin. I have an F-16 and Harrier eggplane in the stash.
