Assembly model 1:48 North American F-86F Airfix A08111

One of the most important aircraft of the early jet era, the North American F-86 Sabre was in many ways a jet version of the company's highly successful World War II-era P-51D Mustang and an aircraft that made full use of captured German aerodynamic research. material.

Featuring a distinctive 35-degree wing sweep, the Sabre also featured three nose-mounted .50-caliber machine guns positioned on either side of the aircraft's nose, with this jet gunner sharing many design philosophies with its famous piston-engined predecessor.

Upon entering service with the US Air Force in 1949, the North American F-86 Sabre would be not only the first American swept-wing fighter, but also the fastest fighter in the world at the time, a true aviation classic.
