Hello, I would like to suggest unlockable Royal Thai Air Force 43rd Squadron camouflage for the F-86F-30 Sabre.

Sabre-43Sqn-09

In 1966, the 43rd Squadron of the Royal Thai Air Force received F-86F-30 Sabres from the 12th and 13th squadrons. The squadron operated the Sabres until 1972, when they’re replaced with A-37 Dragonfly. The Sabres flew air defense missions of the country during the Vietnam War.

The camouflage consisted of unpainted bare metal with green nose and wingtips, and a cobra decal on both sides of the nose, just behind the machine guns. The camouflage of this squadron has many variations, and for this suggestion, I’m suggesting the variant with green stripes in the vertical stabilizer, and green diagonal stripes in the fuselage with stars inside it.

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.

Looks quite nice +1

Would be a great way to have them in game as a unlock as having a same or 99% same aircraft in the Japanese tree would be not great.
