1/48 Hasegawa F-86 F 39th FIS John F. Bolt "Darling Dottie"

Post by lawdog114 »

Here's another one I whipped up recently. It's the Hasegawa F-86 F Sabre in the 39th FIS markings of "Darling Dottie", flown by Lt. Colonel John F. Bolt. Bolt flew under Pappy Boyington in WW2 Pacific flaming 6 zeros then again in Korea downing 6 Migs. Bolt is the only US Marine to achieve ace status in two wars and the only Marine "jet" fighter ace.

The kit is Hasegawa which I added a Legend seat, PE instrument panel and Eduard wheels. Nothing too fancy. The decals were from Warbird and were extremely fragile. I had a few hold my breath moments. The stripes and checkers were painted on in lieu of decals.

Thanks for looking...
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
