  1. J.H.Rood and all. F86 was flown by many countries and for decades. So, for us modelers from Western world willing to build big? flying toys, whose in middle age or a tad older, has a story or two to tell about this plane. This time, I gotta build and fly her.
  2. Martin, Yes! the two packages arrived in good shape today. Even my dog, Cocoa seems comfortable because she knows that I will be home while building from the box contents.  Thank you for adding the tail linkage part.  Greatly appreciated. Edited By Toshiro Saruwatari on 22/08/2019 14:08:22
  3. Two brown boxes arrived, flying across the Dover Channel and the Eurasian Continent. Am I happy. You betcha.
  4. Philip, Next time your orchestra decides to cross the Eurasian continent, let me know. Toshrio Saruwatari
  5. I have just sent my yen for the short kit and canopy. Hope to get them soon. In 1964, a squadron of JASDF F-86s drew the Olympic symbol over the skies of Tokyo, during the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. I was born then, but not old enough to remeber seeing it. Time passes, and I was fortunate and old enough, I guess, to see the final demostration flight of the JASDF Blue Impulse using F-86 at Iruma AFB Tokyo. I might be able to dig up some old photos stashed up someplace. So, my theme is set, white and blue Blue Impulse. Edited By Toshiro Saruwatari on 14/08/2019 03:09:02
  6. Count me in! This time, I really want to build and fly. F86, THE plane that made the Olympic symbol over Tokyo in 1964 during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic games. We will be hosting another Olympic in 2020, so what more fitting plane is there for me to build. Toshiro in Tokyo.
  7. rather large box arrived at the door today, despite the fact that its a Sunday here. Much thanks to JPS, Japan Postal Service. 1,200yen in tariff was a bummer, but the big boy of the house is, ofcourse, happy. Cocoa and Rum are showing great interest. They seem to share my joy and enthusiasm. Canopy and spinner arrived intact. In the past, Jet Provost canopy arrived crushed, so I had requested Sarik Hobbies to pack well, and they obliged, did a good job. Dont think I can get started ASAP, but this time, I'll get her done and flying. Yes, there are two short kits here. Wider one is belated A4. Decided to make the best use of coupon offer and offset the cost of EXPENSIVE S&H by ordering two kits.
  8. My short kit is on its way. While I wait for it to arrive, I bought a copy of Hurricane book available here. By coincidence, it came out only a few weeks ago. Lots of informative info and photos. Made a good and interesting reading. Was a bit of a surprise to learn that Hawker Hurricane was the only figher which fought throughout WWI from 1939 to August 1945I, in active service.
