This repaint represents QF-86F-40 sn576404 of the US Navy Pacific Missile Test Center, at NAS Point Mugu, California. It was one of about 50 purchased from Japan as a former JASDF aircraft. This QF-86 was operated in the mid to late 1980s for radar research and full size target test drone. It is recognized that the Milviz F-86F is a dash 30 while the QF -86 this repaint represents is a dash 40. The most distinguishable external diffenence is that the dash 40 had slatted wings and the dash 30 had the 6-3 hard wing. Model and Paintkit by MilViz. Repaint by Steve Bryant.
One other visable distinction to point out on this repaint is that the large side number "37" is different on each side and the gun charger panel access fasteners are different colors on each side. This is the way the actual aircarft appeared during the time for which it is depicted. Model and Paintkit by MilViz. Repaint by Steve Bryant.
