Trumpeter 1/144 F-86F of the Argentinian Air Force circa 1982. These aircraft were pulled out of storage at the time to defend the northern border with Chile due to shortages of aircraft fighting in the Falklands. An older build from 2012 that managed to survive a move.

Very nice build. I like your hard edged camo scheme. I was not aware that Argentina flew the F-86.

Thank you Tom. They pulled their F-86s out of storage to cover their border with Chile. Apparently tensions were high between the two countries at this time.

Nice work. The F-86 to me always looked fast just sitting still.

Thank you. One of my favorite jets. Got to see a privately owned one fly in Texas back in 1987.
