Zen's PoAF F-80 >> Finished <<

A Whiffery GB for any type of model. Simple decal changes, mild surgery or major. But all must have a story to back it up, no matter how silly or unbelievable.
The GB runs from 15 Sep through 16 Oct, and your host is FredK.

Thank you, guys!! Glad to know you like it! :grin:
So, in my alternative History, this was the first jet fighter the PoAF operated, followed by the Saab J29F Tunnan as the first swept wing jet fighter in 1956, and then a few F-86E in 1957, just before the delivery of the F versions in 1958, which were the first swept wing jet fighters of the PoAF in real life.
I think that's enough whiffing of PoAF fighters in the 50s for now, let's see what the 60s will bring us... :twisted:
