Hello, I would like to suggest unlockable Royal Thai Air Force 13th Squadron camouflage for the F-86F-30 Sabre.

In 1960, the 13th Squadron of the Royal Thai Air Force started operating F-86F-30 Sabres (B.Kh.17 / บ.ข.๑๗), the first squadron in the RTAF to operate the type. Previously the squadron were operating the F8F Bearcats and AT-6 Texans. The 13th Squadron operated the Sabres until 1966, when the aircraft were transferred to the 43rd Squadron.

The camouflage consisted of unpainted bare metal with red nose and wingtips, red band with lightning shape in the vertical stabilizer, and a leaping tiger decal on both sides of the nose, just behind the machine guns.

This suggestion is intended to give additional camouflage options for the aircraft that can be unlocked via a number of player kills or instant purchase using Golden Eagles. The Thai camouflage for the aircraft would also nicely accompany the Thai vehicles that now we have in-game.
