Model represents a
member of 3529th CCTS based at Williams AFB, AZ, 1962. They were F-86-40s
flying with Misawa style finless drop tanks. They carried one missile rack on
the left wing. I was asked to make the model look used, as the gentleman
who graduated from advanced training flying these 86s said they all went to the
boneyard six weeks later -- worn out.

I tried to make the
day-glo a bit faded and patchy in appearance. The finish is Testors Model
Master Chrome Silver, (no metalizers) tinted with blue, black and gray for the
wing center section, under a lot of gloss coat. Hasegawa kit of course,
with a Jaguar interior.
