That is some fine looking paint/weathering work. I love those crystal clear instructions.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yup, good old Dragon. One other tidbit that I would pass on to any builders of this kit is regarding the PE brass ring at the bottom of the turret. The best location for the seam is oriented at the front. Then it is more concealed by the armor front overhang as opposed to any other positions.

I may have to find me another of this kit to build one day... with these things in mind of course...

Yeah, I found it and was amazed... it has the subject of my build flying lead, and another famous Sabre, "The Huff", flying number 4 position... simply awesome. "The Hunters" in 1953 reality.

One of the fighter bomber groups in Korea. But without being able to see the tail markings I can't tell if it's the 18th FBW or the 8th FBW.
And yes I need a PSP/Martson Matting base like that for mine.

That Marston Mat base would be a great background for all the F86 shiny metal. Getting excited!

Yeah, the dirty weathered matting is a nice contrast
