A frequent favorite of modelers is the F-86 and what's not to like about this classic jet fighter. This particular sheet provides markings for two Korean War MiG killers. The aircraft are in natural metal and the modeler is going to have to paint on the yellow wing and tail stripes. Black boarders are not provided so good luck in finding some that properly fit! Data and insignia for one of the options is given.

First up is 'The Chopper' of Maj Felix Asia Jr with the 336 FS/4 FIW. While the major only achieved four kills, there are markings for eight on the plane.

The other is 'Mig Poison' of Maj James Hagerstrom of the 67 FBS/18 FBG. This aircraft shows 6 of the Major's 8.5 kills.

No kit is specified, but really, most modelers will go for either the Academy or the Hasegawa kit in this scale. Others may want to put them on the Italeri/ESCI kit or even the old Monogram offering.
