Fredrik Strom
Östersund, Jämtlamd, Sweden
Fredrik dressed Revell’s 1/48 scale F-86D with Cutting Edge decals to model a Yugoslav air force academy Sabre Dog. To improve the kit, he replaced parts with white metal landing gear legs, Eduard resin wheels, and Eduard photo-etched metal details. “There is a debate whether the color on the nose is blue, black, or something in between,” Fredrik says. “I went for the blue option choosing the same blue color as in the air force insignia.” He painted the metal body with Alclad II lacquers and used Mr. Hobby and Ammo by Mig Jimenez acrylics.
