Note that board number is repeated on the tip of the vertical fin, being last 2 numerals and omitting a 0, should it start with it (101 --> 1; 110 --> 10)

When I first created the FJ-3M, which was simply a "navalised" modification of PeterD's F-86, I posted a whole folder of these iconic skins with it. I had less control over my work back then and the mod was sucked into successive "mega packs". No-one even remembers who the original author was now, and I guess the skins must have been lost in the translation process.

Perhaps someone kept a copy of them. However if not, given the huge variety of the subject matter and the availability of some great profiles, plus some good templates, I suggest it would prove a to be a good project for the more artistic members of our community.

In the meantime, here are a couple I found on my old hard drive:
