Thank you.  Seems the North Vietnamese used quite a bit of variety in their schemes, and I wanted to try something different as a challenge than just natural metal.

As F86's go this is the most intresting one ive ever seen...their pretty much always sliver.
I like this..like it alot 
I think the North Vietnamese where half or totally drunk dew to how many schemes ive seen on their planes ..orrr its what ever colour paint they had at hand.
