North American F-86K "Kaasjager"

The Royal Dutch Air Force, acquired 57 U.S.-built and six Fiat-built F-86K Sabres, 1955–1956; and assigned to three squadrons, No. 700, 701 and 702. Operated until 1964 with the F-86K. It was the first all weather fighter in the inventory of the Royal Dutch Air Force.

The kit was from Special Hobby, in the end I'm glad it is finished. The best parts of the kit were the decals.
The plastic surface was like sanding paper and had to be sanded to get a smooth surface. The wheel bays didn't fit, due to a problem with the manufacture. I didn't turn to the internet directly, but after stumbling for a couple of days. Special Hobby provided some resin parts. There were no pins in the kit glueing had to be done carefully. The small fins near the tail I left out these were so tiny made from PE parts, these got stuck every were but not on the model. The slats could only be fitted in down position.
The Sidewinders came from Kinetic, the front fins from the ones from Special Hobby were only 2mm high.
The decals were a relieve, the fit was very good. The red stipes on the model are decals, these were better than my Wingman on the Kfir.
In the end the front part of the cockpit fitted like a glove, but the second part was to large and had to be sanded .
The paint came from Vallejo Model Air 71064 Chrome, Black 74602 and 71017 Russian Green.

For me the first and the last model from Special Hobby.

The finished model:

Canadair NF-5A Freedom Fighter

This NF-5 is displayed in the colors of 316 squadron, based at Eindhoven. In the 80's some of the NF-5's from 316 squadron, had a colorfull band on the top of the fuselage. The reason for this is to be recognised during dogfights. These NF-5's were used as an agressor. The K-3072 had and orange centertank as well. These tanks were not as common as the colorfull band.
This Agressor is also equiped with dummy AIM-9 Sidewinders.
I choosed the build the aircraft in this colorscheme because it breaks the usual camouflage paterns.

The colors I used were Vallejo Model Air71017 Russian Green, Vallejo Model Air 052 German Grey, Vallejo Model Air 051 Barely Grey and Vallejo  Model Color 70733 Orange Fluo.

The decals are a mix from the ones that came with this kit and Dutch Decal DD48045. I made some seat belts from masking tape and fuse wire to get some detail in the cockpit.

I will get some better photos and upload those. These were taken duting the spare moments we had some sunshine today.

The inspiration.
