I built models quite a bit up into my teenage years but had to stop with job, college, family, etc. I haven't built a model in over 15 years, and this is my first foray back into the hobby. All in all, I was pretty happy with the way this one came out.

Now I need to work on my pictures so I'll apologize in advance for the poor quality shots.

I'm working on the Special Hobby F-86H right now. I plan on finishing this one as a SEA camo QF-86. Next I'm thinking about a couple of Hasagawa F-106s...

Looks good, I am not much of a jet fan, but I do like the looks of a F-86, I must, I have 2 A models, and I think 5 F models in the stash, including the uber rare 1/32 scale molded entirely in clear plastic.

Nice. What's the story on the paint scheme, and the Army denotation? Is it a drone?

a "Q" in the designation stands for drone, the paint scheme is as a target.

Thanks guys.

The US Army used QF-86E drones in the 70's to test weapon systems such as the Patriot out at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico...
