Did anyone besides the U.S use the F-86D? And if so were there different paint schemes than the natural metal finish? Seems like I saw somewhere Denmark had some. I'm looking for something a little different because I'm just not any good doing NMF paint schemes? Thanks Mike Mike do you use an airbrush? If you do I think I can help you achieve a fantastic NMF as easy as if you were spraying Olive Drab. Hawkeye > Did anyone besides the U.S use the F-86D?

You'd have to scratch up the cannon fairings. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. Bill, To convert to a K model you need more than the cannon fairings. IIRC there was also a fuselage stretch forward of the wings. The wings may have been different too, altho I'm not 100% on that. > > > Did anyone besides the U.S use the F-86D? > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > Bill, > To convert to a K model you need more than the cannon fairings.

It's been awhile since I studied the subject so I'm at the mercy of my memory. I do remember that different models of the Ds and Ks used different wings just as the dayfighters did. F-86s seem so simple but they can get just as complicated as Bf 109s. It's a subject that requires some study. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. The F-86D used the early slatted F-86A type wing. No 6-3 leading edge or tip extensions. When many of the Ds were converted to the L model, they were rebuilt with the slatted, 6-3 wing with a 12 inch extension on each tip. The F-86K was the export interceptor version of the D. As such it had the same wing as the D version, not the L wing. Norm >The F-86K was the export interceptor version of the D.

It might even have the F-40 slatted wing fitted during IRAN maintenance.

I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it.

If you want to convert your -D to a -K, you could do Italian or German aircraft in NATO camoflage. SignatureJessica Denmark used the F-86D but they were all in NMF paint scheme while in active service. After retirement some of them were painted overall dark green for use as decoys. There was a picture on HS recently showing this (try searching the forums for 'Vandel'). HTH SignatureJJ > Did anyone besides the U.S use the F-86D?
