North American F-86F-40 Sabre

Making full use of the captured German aerodynamic research material, the North American F-86 Sabre is one of the most important aircraft of the early jet era.

Boasting a distinctive 35-degree wing sweep, three nose mounted .50 calibre machine guns, as well as a host of design philosophies from the famous piston engined predecessor.

A true aviation classic, the Sabre entered service with the U.S Air Force in 1949 and at the time, was the fastest fighter aircraft in the world.

This Airfix kit contains all the parts required to build a fine 1/48 scale model of this aircraft. In total there are 156 parts in the kit plus two sets of markings to reflect different airframes from within the boxing.

Tools, paint and and glue are required to complete the model.
