| F-86 Profile Hello I am currently working on a F-86 profile. I plan to produce some Korean War Aces profiles and maybe some Sabre's profiles of other air forces. I am finishing the basic profile and gathering data on the Korean war aces to choose 4 to 5 Aces to make the profiles. It's still a work in progress .......  Best regards to all |

| That does look good to me. Not meaning this to diminish my compliments on your work but I actually have read very little on the F-86; could you recommend a good "primer" on the plane's development and deployment. I could always look in the Osprey series but I often wonder if they are not more into the quantity of their product lines and less so on the quality of the content. Thanks and keep the updates coming. |

While there is a second order curve it is not that drastic - see below for real photos emphasizing the inlet and top line from radar to canopy 336FS/4FG F-86's. Robby Risner was an ace w/336FS. In 335FS was Jabara and Whisner and Garrison and Hagerstrom. The latter three were also aces in WWII, Garrison was an ace in the 4th for both wars . | |

| Yeah, I believe it was there. That one is part of the Planes of Fame museum at Chino.

| I thought that's where I had seen that plane before E. I just find the lettering on the side humorous though. Wheelsup

| I have to agree with Drgondog, the nose is too 'beak like'. But very impressive! Can't wait to see the full profile, as well as other works of yours.
