Rob Colvin Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Did any USAF F-86Fs survive long enough to get painted in SEA or perhaps Air Defence Grey? I know about the export birds, but was wondering specifically about the USAF. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Out of my memory some F-86F based in Europe got a non standard camouflage (grey/green) late in their service life but I should check that. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Found it! One example: F-86F-25-NH 52-5333 was used for camouflage tests in Europe in 1965 by the 461st FDS. http://www.gaetanmarie.com/north-american-f-86-sabre/ and a model: http://hsfeatures.com/features04/f86pt2camosabremr_1.htm Martinnfb and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Colvin Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 I wish there was an injection molded/ 3d printed conversion for the F-86H. The resin conversion, if you can find it, is all there is and it presents a challenge. The camo test bird.....If there are 32nd decals out there, that would work.

If your question relates to the difference between the F and H marks, the fuselage was fully different. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
