F-86 pictures (52-5012)

[Chad Veich]

I'm looking for some good pictures of the top and bottom of Cinema Air's F-86 when it was painted as shown below. (with blue band on top of vertical fin) This is for a model project. Any assistance much appreciated.

I've seen a few F-86 restorations painted with a white base. Was this an authentic paint scheme?

I don't think there were any white painted F-86s used in Korea. I've seen a few restored Mustangs with a white or very light grey base in place of the silver (or natural metal) as well. I think some owners just like the look of it.

I thought that might be the case. Sorry to side step your request.
