New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF.
F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks.
F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications.
F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60)
All skins are in 3072x3072 format.
Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L
All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used.
* I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me)
Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61.
Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts. Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game.
I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea.
There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope.
It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers.
Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes. This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon.
Credits:
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly - model, skins, decals, research...
Weapons: Mk4 Mighty Mouse by Ravenclaw.
Have fun.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.

Yours truly - model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw.
