The Mig-15 looks alot like the F-86 in my opinion, maybe thats just me?

Does a little bit. But the MiG-15 doesn't have as great of a view for the pilot as the Sabre, and the Sabre doesn't have such a tall tail like the MiG. Which for the MiG was a plus and a minus.

Im assuming just by looking that the Sabre could out roll the Mig-15 then?

Yah, MiG-15 is the one one that's more similar to the MiG-9 I need to learn to shoot down in my YP-80 on 1946; from those two shots it's clear just how dissimilar they are, huh. lolme

Well not exactly a "cone" but a longer protruding nose. This is a F-86D "Dog". The nose had radar in it, so that's why the nose is longer. :)

Thats definitely a Mig 21 fishbed used by the former east Germans. (you can see the square on the tail.) We all make mistakes!
