k5ikl Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Can anyone tell me what the topside camo and underside colors are for this bird? Color guide instructions are unreadable. Thanks. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hello, There were two Mks of -86s in the Luftwaffe, Mk 5 and 6. West Germany received 75 Mk 5s in 1957-1958. All were ex RCAF and were assigned to Waffenschule 10, training school to get pilots familiar with the type. About 225 Mk 6 were delivered to West Germany and some were modified or retrofitted with slated wings to improve slow airspeed maneuverability. All Luftwaffe's Sabres were painted in NATO fashion of RAF colors: Dark Green, Dark Sea Gray and Medium Sea Gray. The only difference is that the second batch of -86s had the upper colors more or less switched, Gray instead of green and vice versa. I hope this help.
