1/48 Academy F-86F Sabre

by Mustafa Aziz
This is my first attempt with NMF. The kit was built completely OOB. I used Cutting Edge decal sheet CED48023. Alclad aluminum and dural aluminum were used for the finish. Before painting the Alclad on I sprayed the model with Pollyscale RLM 80 Green, followed by 4 coats of Future.

The model represents the F-86 Sabre flown by the Pakistan Air Force "Ace" Sqn. Leader M.M. Alam during the September 1965 war with India .  Alam was commanding 11th. Squadron flying out of P.A.F. Base Sargodha .  On September 7th. 1965 war Alam shot down 5 Indian Hunters in one sortie.
