Excellent entry, my friend @grimreaper! You might also enter it to our Sabre Group: https://imodeler.com/groups/f-86-sabre-and-fj-fury/
Great chosen subject, Reinhard @grimreaper This one would indeed look nice in the Sabre group as well, as mentioned by Spiros @fiveten
some paint for the cockpit

Excellent progress, my friend @grimreaper!
Not to be Debbie Downer here, but the F-86L uses the F-86F-40 extended wing. The only way you can get there from here would be to graft on the Airfix F-86F-40 kit's wings.
Beautiful work done on the interior, Reinhard @grimreaper
and fuselage already closed added 20g lead as noseweight didn´t know which colour the IB of the Thai F-86 had, grey or black, went with black in the end

@tcinla thanks for the hint, have completely overseen that gonna look if the Hasegawa F-40 wing tips fit the Revell kit, if not gonna do a Philippine D
Great progress, my friend @grimreaper!
Looks very nice, Reinhard @grimreaper
wing tips don´t match in size and shape for a conversion you could use the hole wing of the Hasegawa or Airfix F-40 Sabre, but still would need some surgery so it´s gonna be the Philippine one
wings not glued on yet but fit is good
gonna add the fuel tanks
Wise decision to go for the Philippine version, my friend @grimreaper!
Best choice, Reinhard @grimreaper Will look great in the Philippine markings as well.
more build up progress
to not to have to convert the kit tanks, gonna make things easier and use the stuka finned tanks from the Revell (Hasegawa) Sabre 6 kit
