Nice choice pete its a great kit , I had the promodeller boxing of this tooling and that included a neat towing tractor sprue , looks like revell havent included it here .Its a lovely looking tooling , the only thing it needs are better seat belts which youve sorted with the etch . Which colour scheme are you going for ?
nice looking model Pete
The one pictured on the instructions see the last picture
What was the other one pete? Just curious as the f86D had some quite colourful schemes
This one
I see why you went for the other one , bit plain isnt it !
Yes just a bit boring is what I thought
Just typical just about to attach the control column and it pinged off somewhere no doubt never to be seen again
I will keep going and hopefully the carpet monster will kindly give it back

Pete, this must be a really hungry carpet monter to eat such a big part...it'll appear no doubt thinking its a tooth pick. :smiling6: I got one of these and the parts look good and crisply molded with fine engraved panel lines. Will grab a chair to watch this being done.

Love these early jets. Looking forward to this one…..l
Nothing Nothing done yesterday but I did manage 45 minutes to finish the cockpit minus the control column witch the carpet monster has. 
Undercarriage bay and front landing gear sorted 
And cockpit and undercarriage together
And cockpit and undercarriage together
Got the fuselage sewn up no problems 
And wings together
And wings together
I given up I have already lost the control column now I lost the ip panel and now I have gone to fit the canopy and it does not fit so its going to the shelf of doom for a long time now I am off to find something else to do
How'd that happen?
Partly by not looking a the instructions properly as I had attached the wings and the I had to remove them again as I forgot to put a piece in before closing up the fuselage so I have no one else to blame but myself
