"Pete" Fernandez' Sabre

By request, F-86F of Capt. Manuel J. "Pete" Fernandez...

 

Still tweaking stuff, have to change some of the stencils and so forth. Does anybody know if Fernandez' Sabre had the rounded fuselage band or did it come to a point on top like I have it now? I've seen both styles in pics of Korean war-era Sabres. This is not my area of expertise... ;)

As far as I can tell, Fernandez flew a very early F model Sabre, still with the narrow chord, slatted wing, and with the cockpit finished in matte black. Can't do anything about the wings... :)

 

Thanks to forum member Veles for reference pics.

 

Coming soon.

Dear Lord, I seriously lost hope anyone would start making 1.2.16-compatible USAF skins, after BoNidle abandoned his Sabre-repainting activity.

 

You're the last man doing this stuff, and I'm damn glad to see You decided to stop making CAF liveries for a minute :D. Can wait to try the skin above (and I hope it's not the last USAF one from You).

Uploaded to DCS, awaiting approval.

 

Went with the pointed version of the fuse stripe, was a bugger to get lined up right.
