First Look
Czech Republic based Pavla models has introduced a fine upgrade for Airfix's 1/72 F-86F Sabre kit. This seven piece blister pack includes a vacuform canopy, ejection seat, cockpit tub, main instrument panel, joystick, rear canopy shelf, seat backing with rails, and rear cockpit shelf. As a pleasant surprise, the painting guide is much more detailed than previous blister pack offerings, and while it doesn't include FS color callouts, it goes a long way to helping create a more finished product. Recommended!
My sincere thanks to Pavla Models for this review sample.
