Hello, I would like to suggest unlockable Royal Thai Air Force 12th Squadron camouflage for the F-86F-30 Sabre.

In 1961, the 12th Squadron of the Royal Thai Air Force started operating F-86F-30 Sabres (B.Kh.17 / บ.ข.๑๗) after previously using the F-84G Thunderjets. The 12th Squadron operated the Sabres until 1966, when the aircraft were transferred to the 43rd Squadron.

The camouflage consisted of unpainted bare metal with blue nose and wingtips, dark blue stripe flanked by thin white stripes just behind the blue nose, blue band with two white shooting stars 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.
