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

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...
