- The North American F-86 Sabre is often regarded as one of the greatest fighter aircraft in annuals of military history. Famed for its role during the Korean War [1950-1953] as the main USAF jet fighter. And the ideal counter to the dreaded and legendary Soviet MiG-15. Often dueling against the nimble Soviet jet fighter, in fierce aerial combat high in the skies over North Korea. Resulting in F-86 pilots shooting down in total of 792 MiGs, by the end The Korean War.
In the aftermath of The Korean War, demand for the famed fighter from US/Western aligned nations. Resulted in the F-86 to be built under license in Canada by Canadair. For both the Royal Canadian Air Force and exported to the Royal Air Force. And in Australia by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. With the CAC Sabre’s equipping squadrons, the Royal Australian Air Force. Notably RAAF Sabre squadrons were deployed to Ubon Air Base in Thailand. To protect Thai air space during Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War.
Another notable operator was the F-86 Sabre was the West German Luftwaffe. Equipping Luftwaffe Fighter squadrons form 1957 until 1966 in the role of daytime interceptors. With the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter replacing the type. Post 1966 several Luftwaffe F-86 Sabre were used as target tug aircraft from 1967 until 1974.
Notably a few famed World War Two aces like Erich Hartman, flew the type in West German service. With Hartman being appointed as the first Wing Commadore of Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen". Resulting in the Sabre’s of JG-71 adopting the distinct black tulip emblem of Hartman. Applied around the intake and leading edge of the tail, on the F-86 Sabres of Jagdgeschwader 71.
THE MODEL
This quick and easy Hobby Boss is as fun model to make. The kit I made comes with decals for one West German Luftwaffe paint scheme. Or the paint scheme for the colors of an Aerobatic JASDF F-86 Sabre. The chosen paint scheme I went for Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen". With Vallejo Model Colors and Citadel paints, being used to paint the model.
Also starting around, the 11:09 mark there is a special bonus segment. A walkaround of a REAL F-86 Sabre. Filmed here in New Zealand at the Classic Flyers Aviation Museum. Located next to the airport in the town of Tauranga. Sadly, the footage is not the best since it was filmed on my old phone, back in 2021. But it is very rear to see a historic aircraft in the flesh. Yet alone be allowed to sit in the cockpit of one. So, it makes a nice ended to the video.
Thanks for Watching

Hello everyone in this build video there is a special bonus segment, starting at the 11:09 mark. A walkaround of a REAL F-86 Sabre. Filmed here in New Zealand at the Classic Flyers Aviation Museum. Located next to the airport in the town of Tauranga.
Sadly, the footage is not the best since it was filmed on my old phone, back in 2021. But it is very rear to see a historic aircraft in the flesh. Yet alone be allowed to sit in the cockpit of one. So, it makes a nice ended to the video. With that been said, feel free to post the comment section. What historic aircraft you have seen up close in an Air Museum or at an Air Show.

Great video! Very nice build and thanks for sharing the Sabre film footage!! I have one in the stash and was concerned about the decals. With your technique in mind I should not have to worry!
Thank you I am glad you loved seeing my brief walkaround of a real F-86. Also good to hear that the way I applied the tulip decal, will help you with your build of this kit. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching.
Beautiful. Another masterpiece. Thanks for sharing and the extra info.
Thank you Terry I'm glad you loved it. Thanks for watching too!
Nice build of a Cold War classic.
Thank you and your so right the F-86 is a real cold war era classic. Hope you have had the chance to sit in the cockpit of one.
Well tidy build,I like these Hobbyboss kits.
Thank you Kenneth, you so right Hobby Boss kits are fun to make. Thanks for watching
👍👍👍
Nice one 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
An eye catching camo scheme.....sounds a bit of an oxymoron, doesnt it? Pleasing to my eye though.
I don't know if you saw it, or even if youre interesred, but Greg's Models uploaded a hand painted AC119 about 4 days ago. Very interesting, i thought......
Thank you so much. You are so right it is a bit of an oxymoron to have an eye-catching camo scheme. Then again it seems appropriate for the F-86 Sabres of Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" to have rather outrageous colours on their aircraft. Guess they wanted to keep up that old German tradition of painting crazy colours over a fighter aircraft’s camouflage pattern.
Also, I am happy to hear other larger channels like Greg's Models. Are still painting the odd model with the mighty brush. Will have to check that video out. Thanks for watching!
Very nice build. Out of curiosity, how much do you thin your paints?
Thank You so much. I tend to use a few drops of thinner via a disposable eye dropper/ pipette. Mixed into a small pool of paint with a paint brush on a paint pallet. Its often thinned where the paint is free- flowing than paint that has come out of the tube/pot. And I often apply my paint in a few coats with plenty of drying between each coat. I hope this is of some help for you.
BTW Also as Sic-fi & Horror Movie geek. I love your profile pic too. Roddy Rowdy Piper from John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE. If I'm not mistaken. That reminds me I need to give that another rewatch one of these days.
You are correct. One of my favorites. Strong messages for an action film.
