South African Sabre

[jankees]

while the Australian Sabre is on the shelf for now, I thought I'd try a South African F-86, of No 2 Squadron. Still Wip, but nearly there. What do you think?

Is this better? The tail had to be orange too of course..Sorry about that..but remember, I am colorblind..
As for the difference with Mustangs, no there isn't that much difference, still North American Aviation, except I'm using Photoshop now, and compared to P-51's and P-47's, there isn't that much choice in paintschemes. But don't worry, I'll do a few more.

Still a good effort, well done. I visited this one in Pretoria earlier this year. The South Africans have an impressive line up at their Museum in Pretoria (Swartkop Air Force Base). Have a look at the SAAF Roundal in the background on the hangar wall.
