Kind of exciting. I've built the Hasegwa kit - be interesting to see how this one goes together

Personally, I wish they would model and attractive aircraft like the A-7 Corsair II

I’m still waiting on a hard wing F-86A or F-86E…
But yes, this looks nice like the Academy & Hasegawa Sabers.

It's not a Jaguar.

Clear Prop F-86A is in stock, mine should be here in a day or two. I think Airfix has updated their recent F-40 with a 6-3 F-30 wing. Still waiting for a real F-86E with the slatted short wing or an unmodified F-86 F-15 or F-30.
Whining mode off....

Yes I saw that Squadron has the A on pre order… it’s not priced affordably… I do hope that we get them in at work so I can pick one up at a discount rate.

Yeah, it wasn't a low price at Sprue Bros either, but they did discount it some. It only hurt a little!
