After looking at the post by Lance I have been inspired to go back to My JG 71 build of the Kinetic Sabre.

RAGIII
a look at a photo from the last updates: Some panels and intakes re- done and re- scribed to be more accurate.

Photos from today:

Looks great, Rick, can’t wait to see the Iron Crosses go on!

Very nice work! Definitely worth while improvements

Nice restart Rick, looking forward to the crosses and tulip leaves being added. Glad to see you are displaying the flaps down; I could only find a couple of photos of them on the ground with the flaps down and they were all Luftwaffe jets, but for one of a Canadian Mk. V. Any After market bits in the assembly line for this one?
Cheers,
Lance

Looks like another of your gems is on the way Rick. I am awaiting the beauty photos to appear.

Looking good, but where's the prop?

Thanks to all for looking in and commenting! I found that I had No Idea what colors I had used a few years ago. Due to that, touch up turned to almost a total re-paint. I was happy with the basic results so went on with some further steps. I applied some of the major decal markings. :

Thanks for looking in Tim and Dutch! So I finally got a poor photo copy of the Directions. One thing I noticed was that following the box photos had resulted in the fuselage cross being located incorrectly. I was able to correct that mistake....more or less

Gear and wheels are also now in place. So now decaling continues and I have done some touch up painting.

Better and better, Rick! If the von Richthofen brothers had had a couple of those babies, they could have cleared the skies over the Western Front in about a week and a half.

(I wonder if JG71 ever painted one of their a/c red just for old time's sake...?)

You know, I've been looking for an excuse to pick up a 1/72 F-86

Thanks Dutch. As far as I know No Sabres were painted Red. There was an "Almost" all Red F4F Phantom done for an anniversary or retirement of the Phantom, I can't remember the exact reason

Zac, Perhaps a red Phantom would be better

Still lots of Lovely schemes for The F86 so I say go for it!
