North American F-86F-40 Sabre


Recommended Posts

Hiyas,

Back with another freehand cammo, this time it is an Asia Minor scheme on an Imperial Iranian Sabre. When I saw that High Decal was releasing decals for a cammo Sabre I just had to do it!

Converted a japanese Sabre with the long wings and dropped the slats with a set from Kasl other than that I threw in a cockpit from Aires and wheel wells from CMK.

Here's some pics ;)

Great camouflage and excellent weathering. From what I can see of it, the cockpit looks very good. A Sabre looks good in just about any colors it can be painted in, doesn't it?

Really great looking Sabre. I like your paint and weathering job much. Do im right if i say  that the iranian Sabres are Ex- Luftwaffe? Im not sure.

Thanx Harry :D

Sort of... Iran bought 90 ex luftwaffe canadair mk6 sabres 1966 but they were swiftly transfered to Pakistan. 

Iran had F-40 sabres from 1960 onwards and sold some to Ethiopia in the late 60's.

Fantastic looking craft. Good camo job that really 'pops' with the black background. Well done.

Thanx Stuart :D

I wasn't too familiar with lightroom yet when I edited the pics, they are slightly warm and I was a tad sloppy with the filters...but a great learning experience.

I got it published in "Model Aircraft Monthly" if I'm allowed to brag about it :D

Very nice F-86. I like the Iranian schemes. My F-5E is finished in a similar scheme I think, but nothing as good as this one, partly due to the smaller scale of mine, but mostly my lack of skill!

 

Great job.

The Sabre looks great in IIAF camo, nice! That gives me ideas about building an Ethiopian Sabre (ex-IIAF machines in the same camo).

 

Cheers

Thanx Markus :D

Fun thing though is that the scheme is American, it is a USAF scheme and it is called "Asia Minor Scheme"
