I want to build an F-86 Sabre and have a refueling truck beside it, and I was wondering if Tamiya's new refueling truck would work for a Korean war setting.. same question goes for Tamiya's WWII jeep.. was it still used as such during the Korean war.. and can I use it next to the Sabre?

Thanks for any help I can get

Just quickly paging through the book 'Mustangs Over Korea', I can find at least 1 photo of the fuel truck, and 3 photo's of the jeep being used on Korean airfields.
So, I'd say yes, they were used in Korea. At least in the early war.

Hope that helps

Thanks a lot, Ben.. this helps me a lot!

Hi Hisham,

FWIW the WW2 jeep was used into the 1970s with USAF.

I couldn't find them but I am 99% sure that this fuel truck survived at some bases into the 1960s. By then, though, thirsty jets with huge fuel tanks necessitated bigger gas trucks. I've seen pix of F-89s being fueled by semi-tankers.
