North American F-86F-40 Sabre 1:48

Series 8 aircraft

One of the most important aircraft of the early jet era, the North American F-86 Sabre was in many ways a jet powered version of the company's hugely successful P-51D Mustange from WWII and an aircraft which made full use of captured German aerodynamic research material.  

On entering service with the US Air Force in 1949, it would have the distinction of not only being America's first swept wing fighter, but also the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at that time, a true aviation classic.
