Hey friends,
thanks a lot for your kind words!
Aghis, what they have common?

Gordon Sørensen
Looks great! Nice job on the paint and weathering!

Stunning!

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Very impressive job !!!

Stefan Schacht
fantastisch 👍

Holger Kranich
Awesome job! I love the coloures!
Will it be published in MF?

Tim Vereecke
love it! great achievement Oliver 👍

Oliver Peissl
Hi Holger,
yes the Mag is the MF Magazine.... 😉

Thank you, I will bring it to Eindhoven, @ Tim, if you have a clubstand of Scalemates maybe I can set it there?

Chris W
I LOVE the faded markings. Perfect. Great model!

Aghis Barberopoulos
@Oliver: The slat design was taken from the Me262. See it ?

Aghis Barberopoulos
@Oliver: Not to mention the entire wing design, which was based on the swept wing wind-tunnel data from Gottingen.

Oliver Peissl
maybe, it could be...
I´m not a specialist in the Me 262, but it could be.

-> we know which technic east and west copied after the war from.......😉
so why not from the Me262 too.

stefan natus
Great build,impressive paint job.

Bill Gilman
Some more info on the F-86 wing/slat and its relation to the Me 262 design:
ww2aircraft.net/foru..t-wings-32154-2.html

Bill Gilman
One US contribution to the German slat design was the addition of slat locks, to prevent asymmetric deployment when the landing gear was down.
The F-86 wing used German swept wing data, as Aghis says, but combined it with a laminar flow NACA profile like North American had used on the P-51.

Bill Gilman
Although this site is geared towards flight sims, there is a lot of good F-86 data:

Aghis Barberopoulos
'Laminar' flow wings are a bit overrated, if you ask me, but probably used due to existing data: to get the aircraft produced quickly.

Acki
A class of its own. Very good!

Bill Gilman
One must consider the heritage. The USN FJ-1 Fury used wings that were based on the highly successful P-51D (also the canopy and tail were very similar). This is not surprising as NAA built both the P-51 and the FJ-1. The XF-86 Sabre prototype was designed with the same straight wings as on the FJ-1, but was converted over to swept wings when German research data became available at the end of WWII. The laminar-flow airfoil of the P-51 was retained. The idea behind the laminar flow wing was to achieve uninterrupted airflow over all sections of the foil; creating a smooth boundary layer. The boundary layer conditions were described by German engineer Ludwig Prandtl, who developed the theories in 1904, which was long before any of these aircraft were even thought of!

Oliver Peissl
Thanks again guys,
I will make some other pics with the base and right background and post it again here......soon!

Oliver Peissl
Here I added one more picture, this time from the base, together you will see it at Eindhoven... 🙂
