Are the ones that are upside down from the 2d batch? Or are they mixed among the first and second wave of F-86?

For those that ordered the Plain Silver F86, I got an email yesterday that mine has already shipped and to arrive here on the 8th.

Mine is an S1 plane from the very first ones to be shipped out and it doesn't have that problem with the wing insignia...

Thanks for answering this. Maybe it is only an issue on the 2d run of planes....

That is a sweet looking F-86. I really like the Skyblazers scheme. I hope to see more custom paint schemes on F-86s in the future.

At our age time is in hours not days.
He still could have put in many many hours even though the plane has only been out a couple of weeks. He also could have banged it out in one afternoon...either way it is an amazing piece and the prospect of similar customs is reason alone to be a fan of base colored AC releases in the future. I think the P-51 and P-38 would be two great planes to have released in a plain metallic finish and let people go to town..
