Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for some info on the F-86D.

 

- Is it true that the -D didn't make use of any kind of sight behind the windshield, i.e. that all fire-control info was presented on the radar scope?

- Was the hood on the radar scope fitted as standard, or was it stowed and only fitted when needed by the pilot?

- I'm looking for photos of the deck behind the ejection seat, under the clamshell canopy.

The Kitty Hawk model has some detail in that area but I suspect that it's a bit simplified and will need some hoses / wiring, in any case.

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Best regards,
