This is my Revell F-86D, it really builds up great with very little putty, there's a picture of this airplane in the first issue of "F-86 in action" I had alway's wanted to build it but didn't have a Kit or decals.

Then Revell released the kit,Great, now I need the decals....enter Mike Grant.   He supplied some great decals and I had all I needed.  I got started and the only thing I added to the kit other than the decals was a resin seat.  I primed it with the Alclad ll gray primer and painted a base of Alclad White aluminum, then I painted other panels with different shades of Alclad.  

I then masked and painted white for the day-glo, I looked all over for a day-glo orange and finally found Model Master Fluorescent Red it's a perfect match to me

After painting I gave the model a light coat of gloss and decaled, after decaling I gave it a very light wash and I was done, I finally have the F-86D I've always wanted.
