83rd FIS 4760th CCTS F-104C's of the 479th TFW http://decals.kitreview.com/decals/vpd48005reviewdwa_1.htm Got lots to do since my decal sheet came in. Stay tuned.

ok the L and the late K will be out soon. The L and Late K had the 6-3 wing extensions. Info is below. The only thing I am not proud of is not being able to skin the extensions to something that is as good as what Sundowner does. The extenssions are mapped as a sep part and my limited skills of panel lines it not doing it any justice. So please bare with me on that part. Finally the Late K will have another generic skin as sleepy sweeper said he is going to hook up some good looking K skins. Other than that the L will have 3 new skins for it. F-86K Late The NA-242 batch differed from the previous batches by having the extended wing leading edges and wingtips of the F-86F-40-NA, increasing wingspan from 37.1 to 39.1 feet and wing area from 287.9 to 313.37 square feet. Many previous Fiat-assembled F-86Ks were modified in the field to bring them up to the NA-242 standard. F-86L F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D. Info on the F-86F-40 6-3 Wings The first F-86F-40-NA (serial number 55-3816) rolled out of the factory in October of 1955. The new F-86F was basically similar to the earlier F-86F Sabres and was powered by the same J47-GE-27 of the earlier Fs and had the fuselage, weapons system, and flight controls of the standard F, but had a different wing. It had the "6-3" extended wing leading edge of the earlier Fs, but leading edge slats were once again fitted in an attempt to improve the low speed handling properties. In addition, the wing tips were extended, increasing the wing area from 302.3 square feet to 313.4 square feet and the wing span from 37.12 feet to 39.11 feet. The original F-86F aileron was part of the wingtip, while the F-40 aileron was separate.

Skin being done by me. But boy do I need help.

Just need to add the gun ports.

Congrats, JM!

Roger that SE. Thanks for clearing it up.

bump

Did not work for me either.

Thanks Cowboy.

SE What is your final goal for this. FOr any joe schmoe to be able to make goo dFM's by plugging real flight data and the program does the work? I wouyld very much like to be able to take data from a flight manual, plug it in, your program generate an FM. Or am I just way out there?

Watching my wingman come. Looks like a go around to me.

Thanks anyway woof. I go there often for research on Sabers. But thanks for the help.

469th FIS McGhee-Tyson AFB 1954 This is for an upcoming add on plane for SF. The tail stripes err lightning bolt (whatever the hell it is) and the side stripe thingy was done by hand. Took me 4 hours to get that right, I think it turned out ok. :band:

When? This looks great!

Should not be a problem to do it if I have good pics.

Vermont ANG 147th FIS I need to really gets soem books on the F-86D/L. I realized I know so little about this great plane. These had some of the best paint schemes ever carried by a USAF plane.

Man I wish TK would hurry up with that patch so we could let the others enjoy this. Pics like this just drive the need home.
