Produktbeschreibung

Art.Nr.: 510001426 Art.bezeichnung: 1:72 F-86 F "Sabre" Model Dim.: 15,9 cm SUPER DECALS SHEET The single-engine jet fighter F-86 Sabre was developed by the American aircraft company North American in the late 1940s and became a symbol of post-war military aviation. The F-86 featured the adoption of the typical swept-wing, the large front air intake and the use of the General-Electric J47 jet engine. The fighter flight performance was impressive for the time and very different from the propeller-driven fighters. The Sabre was armed with six M3 12.7 mm. Browning machine guns installed in the nose. It was widely used by the U.S.A.F. and it played a key role during the Korean War where it could counter the Soviet fighter Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig15, in the first high-speed jet planes dogfights in the history.
