1/72 Academy North American F-86 Sabre
Picked up this little combo kit as I love Cold War Era birds. Its a pretty basic kit with not many parts but this will be my first attempt at a Metal Finish. No after market items so will be a build from the box. For anyone who has painted the yellow on these before what yellow did you use...- Komedy
