Why do they look darn similar?
Also, why is their successors also similar?
Here's my models of both planes: Sabre: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/rDU5K4/F-86-Sabre MiG: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2ymyE6/MiG-15-Fagot
@Sunnyskies When I get weirded off by the Fagot's design... The Huckebein makes me hurl...
@SHCow It's a nod to Hans Huckebein, a character from a story by Wilhelm Busch in the 1860s.
Both the F-86 and the MiG-15 and its relatives were strongly based on a previous German design. Look up the Ta 183 Huckebein.
