Revell 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog (Early Version)

A superb 1:48 scale model of the F-86D Sabre, for many years the backbone of the American air defences. A total of 19 USAF wings, some stationed in Japan and Europe, were equipped with the Sabre Dog. At the beginning of the 1950's, North American developed from the successful F-86 Sabre, a single-seat all-weather fighter interceptor nicknamed "Sabre Dog". With the new General Electric J47-GE-17 the Sabre received for the first time a jet engine with afterburner. The armament consisted of a "Mighty Mouse" 24 ventral rocket pod. However the key piece of equipment was the Hughes E-3 computerized fire control radar mounted above the air intake. On 18th November 1952 the F-86D achieved a new speed record of 698,505 miles per hour.
