F-86F Themes? Suggestions?
Hello,
I'm looking for a F-86F Theme. It needs to be on a bird without leading edge slats and the aluminum cannot be polished. Any ideas would be great. Looking for themes that are not too elaborate as I want to show the metal finish on my bird but it's not polished.
Thanks,
Andy
I like this one but its a F-86A

The BVM site has some views of colour schemes for their F-86 ARF's.

I chased up quite a few schemes for Sabres but they covered different versions of the Sabre, not particularly one single variant.
I don't intend to fly mine in competition, I just chose what I thought was the prettiest colour scheme.
I have tried to post some pics but the server here is crap. - John.

John Glenn flew an F-86F in the famous MiG Mad Marine markings. In light of his fame, there are probably a fair number of photos of it on the web and maybe Promark or Tailormade Decals has already got the dry transfers.

Andy,
Talk to Scott and Betsy Harris when you get a chance. They probably know every scheme there is and can steer you toward some info. It can be a mine field since often modelers use A or E model schemes on F models. All depends on how accurate you need to make it.
For the star and bar. Do not use anyone's versions except Pro-Mark or Tailor-Made. The rest will garantee to get them wrong.

I like the boxing crow theme but from the pics that I have seen its an F model with leading edge slats. Thanks for the others. I may consider the Huff one as it's pretty popular and there is plenty of pics of that one.

Yep, I agree Pro-Mark or Tailor-Made is the only way to go. The theme I am working on has to be accurate. It's for my JWM bird.

Let me know if you like this scheme and I can send you a high res scan of the decal sheet.

Here's a scheme you may like. The painted sections would be the hardest sections to cover in metal so this scheme would save you some frustration (wouldn't have to apply metal on the nose and tail)and the airframe is still mostly natural metal. Just something to consider.
