Probably the coolest X6M F86 that I've spotted tis this one from Russia.
Not only is it modified at all, I actually really like the modifications.
It features many carbon fibre parts that look very nice, especially against the white color of this X6.
Ramon Performance is a Russian tuner, which is even cooler to see in Germany.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters. The fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air defense missions.
A scene long since consigned to history. I think the goods yard is Morton-in-Marsh and an immaculate Volvo F86 has received a load that has arrived in BR 4 wheeled vans. The Volvo is owned by W.H. Wallington and Sons of Chipping Norton, although the phone number is Hook Norton 286 The lorry is beautifully finished with it's livery of red and green and "King of the walk" painted under the VOLVO name. Standing in the goods yard is a B.R. track machine.

In the markings and named Beautious Butch, Dedicated to the memory of Captain Joseph Christopher McConnell Jr.
Joseph Christopher McConnell Jr. (30 January 1922 – 25 August 1954) was a United States Air Force fighter pilot who was the top American flying ace during the Korean War.[1] A native of Dover, New Hampshire, Captain McConnell was credited with shooting down 16 MiG-15s while flying North American F-86 Sabres. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions in aerial combat. McConnell was the first American triple jet-on-jet fighter ace and is still the top-scoring American jet ace.
McConnell returned to his home in Apple Valley, California, and was stationed at George Air Force Base, California where he was assigned to the 445th Fighter Squadron and continued flying F-86s. On 6 August 1953, the people of Apple Valley gave a new home, the "Appreciation House", to Capt. McConnell. The house was completed in 45 hours with all land, material, and labor donated. In 1954, he was temporarily assigned to the service test program for the new F-86H Sabre. This was the last and most powerful version of the Sabre, and was intended to be a nuclear-capable fighter-bomber. On 25 August 1954, while testing the fifth production F-86H-1-NA (serial number 52-1981) at Edwards Air Force Base, McConnell was killed in a crash near the base following a control malfunction.[7] The cause of the accident was attributed to a missing bolt. Then-Major Chuck Yeager was assigned to investigate the crash and replicated the malfunction at a much higher altitude. This height advantage allowed him to safely regain control of the aircraft before it hit the desert floor.[8]
The 1955 film The McConnell Story, starring Alan Ladd and June Allyson, chronicles his life story. The book Sabre Jet Ace (1959) by Charles Ira Coombs is a fictionalized biography for young readers covering his experiences as a fighter pilot in Korea.
