Iain Emms Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Nice couple of shots indeed. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Is there something wrong with that paint? I notice it has RAF roundels on the upper wing surfaces and RAAF roundels on the fuselage and I don't see a squadron marking anywhere. I'll check it in the funk & wagnells........

tennyson Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Checked it out and my apologies, it appears that we, indeed flew the sabre with RAF decals on the wings and RAAF decals on the fuselage. My bible also tells me that this aircraft is a representation of a 1962 3 Squadron bird that was based in malaysia, probably A94-962 and piloted by Flight Lieutenant K. Richards. It sported the red nose and fin with a white surround to the fin flash and a white Southern Cross. The only anomoly in the shot is the 3 gun slots in the front of the fuselage. CAC (Australian Government Aircraft Factory) Sabres only sported single gun slots. End of History Lesson! Great shot, anyways, Anton.

Yes frank your close but no cigar http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=299 as for the model its the alphasim f86 sadly it only comes in the 6 12.7mm gun ports, there are no true fsx models that have the twin aden ports thats represent the CACs there are a few RAAF paints for this at ozx with a history of the paints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I shoulda' known that was a Jeansey paint. He's a whizz with the Sabre and Mirage stuff! I can't argue with his history as I have similar stats, but the actual colours (from my stats) say they are 3 Squadron, Butterworth colours from 1962, instead of 1AD. Regardless of that, it's a great aircraft and a terrific paint, too. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonvs Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks for the interesting history Frank. And Victor you are correct, it is the OZx repaint by Jeansy http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?showuser=546 I love this old Jet fighter and Alphasim's recreation of it. Cheers....
