The first photos look very impressive. Very nice work! Do you know what this aircraft and Me 262 have in common ?

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

Superb! The tonal variation in the paint is extremely well done. 🙂

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?

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

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

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.

Some more info on the F-86 wing/slat and its relation to the Me 262 design:

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

Hi every body,
Here are some pics of my F-86K in Luftwaffe markings.
More pics soon...... in a german Mag.
