I had been far away from modeling but in the summer of 2000 I got my driver's license suspended for 60 days due to speedeing in the misdt of summer. This rendered me trapped in my house during the season. So I used this period for modeling as a new start.
At that time I was reading a book titled "Sabre Jets over Korea" written by Doug Evans, a Korean war veteran. I loved his story about flying and fighting in the jet figters so much and I wished to have "my" own Sabrejet. The resultant model prtlays Evans' FU240 F-86A 91240 but made almost entirely by my own guessing, for the example the color of the nose ring.
This is comverted from Hasegawa's 1/48 86E model requiring so many hours for the job. I have since wondering why the plastic kit manufacturers all over the world do not make such a famous version of the F-86 series fighter with brilliant fighting records and variety of markings.
