1:72 F-86/MiG 15 Club Exclusive (A82011)

[John Irwing]

I recently completed these for the 4 day Turkey Shoot Group Build over on another site.

Both were brush painted using Revell Aquacolors and Humbrol Clear and Humbrol Decalfix was used to help the decals settle down. The MiG was given a coat of Flory Dirt wash to dull it down a little.

Cracking little kits and I thoroughly enjoyed making them.

Great work, and putting the 2 together shows why the USAF adopted those yellow recognition bands on the F-86.

[Sailorman]

They look just great  ....... you are tempting me to build a pair.

Wow. That's some really nice work! Love the camouflage on the MiG-15. I don't have a plastic F-86, but I recently bought a die-cast RCAF F-86 from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Not cheap but it was too cool to pass:
