Painting the ID bands was a simple process. I used Tamiya acrylic Flat Yellow (XF3) and Tamiya acrylic Flat Black (XF1) sprayed from my airbrush. The yellow was a close match to the color 21c used, though not an exact one. First I masked off and painted the yellow base and let that dry overnight. The next day, I masked off the black edges and painted them. After everything had dried for a few hours, I removed all the tape to reveal crisp, even lines with very few flaws.
My F-86 now looks a bit more complete
