madmanrick Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Peter, Scant information is available on the TF-86, in fact I am unaware of any scale plans for the model, although there may indeed be some out there. Keep in mind that only 2 examples were ever built AFAIK. In all my available references here is what I know is available: Squadron/Signal F-86 Sabre in action #33 - has 1 b&w pic on page 35 Squadron/Signal F-86 Sabre in action #126 - has 2 b&w pics and one detail side view on page 47 Crowood's North American F-86 Sabre book - has 3 b&w pics and a 4 paragraph history, including specifications beginning on page 87 Warbird Tech Vol 3 - North American F-86 Sabre Jet Day Fighter - has 2 smallish b&w pics, one an overhead shot and the other a repeat of one included in Crowood's book on page 72 & 73. HTH, Rick hi allknows someone about a posibility to find drawings of this craft? wanted build/converse one and nothing helpfull to find in the net.... any help apreciated! thanks in advance!!!

SouthViper Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Hi Contact Mr. Garry Asher from the Fox 3 Studios, has the TF-86 in 1/48 scale. I bought one and I can say it is a very fine and complete resin kit. Also He has a lot of conversions too. Good Luck. gmasher@netzero.net Mario Capelli Edited February 22, 2009 by SouthViper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Mario, I've attempted to email him recently (early Jan '09) and received no reply, do you know if he is still doing business as of today? He has a few items I am interested in and now you can add the TF-86! Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martinsson Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Peter, You might want to try your luck with FAOW F-86. I am not 100% certain but I seem to remember that it included TF-86 drawings. I used FAOW drawings as basis for my 1/48 scale F-86H conversion. They are not 100% correct but close enough. With good photos you´ll find the errors in the drawings. But have someone else confirm that the FAOW really includes TF-86 drawings first! Good luck! Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper50 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I always liked the two seater version of any airplane, and have hoped for a model of the TF-86 for a long time. Almost on subject, I spotted this model at the IPMS Nats in Atlanta in 2005. Built by Master Modeler Phil Hale. Being that the F-86D is one of my favotite aircraft, I thought this was vey cool. It was entered in the Hypothetical Category, not sure if it won, It should have. Don M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmanrick Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Mario, Wow, thanks for that list...I wasn't aware that his product line was so extensive! Right off the bat, I can see 6 or 7 items that I'd be interested in: F-94A/B correction kit F-84B/C/D conversion TF-86 F-86A F-89H conversion F-100C conversion RF-100A conversion I'll try emailing him again and I'll also follow that with snail mail if I don't hear back. Thanks again for the info!! Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I can recommend Gerry's F-100F and F-100C conversions, and his F-100 drop tanks. Last I heard, the conversions were temporarily out of stock. He's told me the RF-100A is on hold, due to lack of reference info (anyone have a good cockpit diagram?). For the F-80s, his RF-80 and P-80A conversions are great! Ben (no affiliation with Fox 3 Studios) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
