I have built two SAAB Tunnan in UN Markings and have decided to build some of the other planes involved in the conflict in Congo in the early 1960th as well.
|
| I found that there were three country's operating the F-86 there. Finding information of the Ethiopian and Iranian Sabres was rather easy but the third posed some problems. I found references to Italy and Philippines for these planes. Finally, with help from people on different forums I learned that UN bought five Sabres from Italy and they were operated by personnel from the Philippines. |
| These planes were ex RAF Sabre 4, so I used the Airfix kit for my build. It was built straight out of the box. I only added the ONU markings and the serial numbers. |
I wanted the other F-86 operators in Kongo as well. First out is Iran.
|
| This is a Fujimi F-86F-40 kit. Decals come from HI Decal. |
The second one is from Ethiopia. I built the Fujimi kit with decals from LF Models
|
| For some reason I decided to convert the front parts of the wings. |
