jocko417 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Very much W.I.P. I don't think any USAF F-86Fs ever served in this scheme, but some were sold to foreign countries and delivered in this scheme during the late 1960s. Coming soon to a theater (of war) near you...

jocko417 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Update: Remember this one is semi-historical... I've only found photos of export aircraft in this scheme, with no nationality markings applied. Also... the other "sea" camo: This XFJ-2B was the closest one can get to a Sabre in navy blue that hadn't really been navalized yet. The RL aircraft had 4x20mm cannons instead of the fifties. Nose number 756 still to be added.
jocko417 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 Might darken the blue a bit, and make it glossier. Those gun ports required an excruciating amount of futzing around with the nose numbers... ;) The original aircraft had 20 mm cannons mounted lower down, below the numbers themselves, the fifties unfortunately sit right where the numbers are supposed to be. 1
Winston 60 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 jocko417, Are you simulating some kind of test plane with the NATC on the vertical stab? What is the info/history on this Navy plane your skinning?

Stratos Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 The SEA camo looks like Honduran Sabres, but those birds were a bit more weathered. Honduras received the Canadair build Sabres in 1976 and used them until 1986, AFAIK they even added more modern ejection seats to their birds. Those Sabres made them the most powerful Air Force in Central America and were used together with 6 K Sabre Dog from Venezuela and Yugoslavia. Honduras is operating several F-5 Tiger II nowadays. You should add a moustache to the pilot lol I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

Winston 60 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah, it was the first Fury prototype to fly. Essentially an F-86E with cannons instead, and a modified windshield. That's cool! I'm eagerly awaiting both of these great looking skins!

I put a moustache on the Pete Fernandez pilot, but you won't see it unless/until you bail out :) Only thing stopping me right now from doing a FAH Sabre is I can't find a nice pic of the art on the speed brake. <HINT> :)
jocko417 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Finished the demarcation between the upper and lower camo. Just have to do same for external tanks and she's about done.
CHSubZero Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Can you convert it to the Honduras one when finished? ;-) Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files
jocko417 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) The previous Latin Sabre camo schemes are probably a more accurate pattern, just need to adjust the colours :) Edited July 15, 2016 by jocko417
Stratos Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Here the best pic of the emblem I can find. It says GRUPO TACTICO on the upper left corner. Slightly bigger pic: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/721527.jpg And is very similar to this one, but in blue and black only, with the eagle in black and the red border in white. Will this pics suffice for the skin? Edited July 20, 2016 by Stratos Added a link. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Stratos Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Excellent! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
MickeEinSweden Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Hello jocko417 :) Is there any chance that You would publish Your skins for download. I think they are marvellous and I really want to fly both your SEA-camo and your NAVY blue on my F-86F. So beautiful! Best Regards Michael
MickeEinSweden Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 Anybody at home? A polite question above for a couple of weeks ago. Love Your Sabre skins (SEA and Navy). Happy x-mas / Michael
jocko417 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Posted December 22, 2016 Sorry dude, have been away from skinning for a while, just started looking at the Spitfire now... I'll finish the SEA and Navy skins as soon as I can :)
MickeEinSweden Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Superduper. Looking forward to your skins for the Spit too :)
jocko417 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Finished! USAF SEA Camo and USN XFJ-2B schemes uploaded to DCS for approval... Camo F-86F can use tail bort numbers. USN XFJ-2B scheme includes Navy pilot. Edited January 6, 2017 by jocko417 1
