Hi Jason

I've sorta built the Italeri F-86E and I'm pretty sure it had RAAF markings.
I don't know how accurate it is.
But an after market pit wouldn't go astray.

Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Jason
As Fred says Red Roo do a plastic conversion of the Academy/Hasegawa F-86. Yo can get it with or without decals. Have a look at this review:
