Recommended Posts

Hi everyone ! My latest completion ! The New-tool Airfix F-86 painted as an Iranian Air Force fighter . Freehand painted with gunze acrylics . I added a Pavla ejection seat to enhance the cockpit and the iranian decals from Hi-Line . Hope you like it !

You're very talented with your airbrush,no doubt about that and the Iranian F-86 painted in the Asia Minor colours is extremely well done (Superb),again no doubt about that.However I do believe you need the Fujimi F-86F40 to make a better representation of an Iranian Sabre.:yes:

Excellent Sabre, with a very difficult paint scheme, but finished to perfection.

My compliments, Orion.

I like that scheme a lot. I've this sheet to do similarly but with Ethiopian markings. The sheet recommends use of F-40 kits, but that shouldn't be seen to detract from the wonderful job that Nionios has made of the finish on this. :thumbsup:

thanks everyone ! It's a rare camo but very nice one ! For the camo i used gunze colours . The green is FS34079(H309) , the White-grey FS36622( H311 ) and for the brown i used dark earth H72 and chocolate brown H406  . All colours are gunze.

No Kampartiger, they had some F-86Es from Germany and passed to Pakistan - I think. SJ - correct me?

That was only a conduit for the Canadair Sabres to get to Pakistan.  Iran didn't operate the Canadair ones.

Correct, Tony, but they had Iranian matks, didnt they?

I seriously doubt it.   After delivery from Germany they were flown to Pakistan for "overhaul" and never mysteriously returned.
