That has to be the coolest color scheme for an F-86. I had a Trim F-86 in that scheme but lost it at Mississippi Afterburner a few years ago. I do, however, have the new BVM F-86 still in the box that I am strongly considering using this same scheme again.

Yours looks very nice.

I'm bouncing back and forth between the Minutemen and the Skyblazers myself. Skyblazers certainly wins on visibility.

All that red will make it nice to see the fuse, but there isn't much there on the wingtips to help define that area. I'm going to do some tests with cardboard cutouts painted to see what I like better at varying distances.

I don't think I've ever seen the bottom of the MM aircraft to know what it looks like.. but a solid red should help orient the airplane top to bottom, which is a good thing.
