I prefer the 21st F-86 but it looks like I'm outnumbered here. :lol: :lol:

I donn't have a 21st C F-86 so I can't give a real comparison, but I do have the AT CL-13 version and am very happy with it, and quite impressed with build and paint quality. The few 21st F-86's I saw in-store looked good, but it's hard to get a clear impression from an unassembled plane through a plastic box window, and if the 21st F-86 is similar to their Mig-15 for build quality, the AT version seems to be more durable and with a better overall fit and finish--the air brakes on the Mig fall open if the plane is held/hung at an angle, whereas the AT air brakes stay closed or open just fine.

I prefer the 21st Century F-86 overall myself. I don't want to go into all the details again, but I do find the 21st Century to be a better looking Sabre.
