Great entry and ditto progress of what looks to be a good kit, my friend @kalamazoo! Looking forward to it!
Welcome to the group, Allan (@kalamazoo). I don't do many 1/72 kits, but I built this kit for the group and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the paint and decals. Will this be from the Greek Display Team that flew F-86s? I think they were called The Hellenic Flame.
Never to late to step in, Allan @kalamazoo Nice choice, looking forward to it.
Thanks my friends, Spiros, George, it will be Hellenic Flame, and John, --------- a bit of Tamiya X2 on the top over Tamiya surface primer.

Excellent progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
Lovely scheme and paint work Allan (@kalamazoo). This is a real beautiful bird.
Looks really good, Allan @kalamazoo
Your masking and paint looks really nice, Allan (@kalamazoo). Did you create a pattern for the curves in the white color, or did you free-hand it?
Thanks, Spiros, Carl (@clipper), John and George (@gblair), drawn freehand onto masking tape both sides of alloy foil, shape adjusted after test fitting.
Really interesting idea to using aluminum foil for creating the masking, Allan (@kalamazoo). I need to put that in my bag of tricks for the next tricky camo that I do.
