Description

1/48 North American F-86F Sabre Fighter (SKU: AX08111) Condition: Brand New Manufacturer: Airfix Product Type / Brief Info: unassembled and unpainted plastic model kit (Note: paint and glue are Not included) Schemes:
- North American F-86F-30 Sabre, 'Arctic Gladiators' aerobatic team, 720th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, United States Air Force, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, 1955. (A)
- North American F-86F-25 Sabre, 514th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, Royal Air Force Manston, Kent, England, 1954. (B)

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 Mustang from WWII and an aircraft which made full use of captured German aerodynamic research material. Featuring a distinctive 35-degree wing sweep, the Sabre also incorporated three nose mounted .50 calibre machine guns positioned on either side of the aircraft's nose, with this jet powered gunslinger sharing many design philosophies with its famous piston powered predecessor. On entering service with the U.S Air Force in 1949, the North American F-86 Sabre 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.

Arctic Gladiators Aerobatic Display Team The USAF 720th Fighter Bomber Squadron formed the Arctic Gladiators team in June 1954. The display team consisted of four F-86F Sabre aircraft, which all carried the squadrons silver and red colour scheme, plus extra markings.

The display team lasted just 10 years when it came to an end in 1955. Displays were limited to the US state of Alaska.

  1. I did not realize A-Modeler is aka "BNA"! I have purchased from BNA previously, a 5 star hobby supply shop! Prices, communication, shipping have always been stellar. As in the past, and with this purchase as well, the little extended wait time experienced in shipping from Australia to USA is well worth it. No disappointments, they ship promptly with tracking, and they package orders well to withstand overseas shipping. If they say it's in stock, it truly is! I very highly recommend this seller.

  3. Arrr, this be one fine transaction! I ordered some delicate bits for me 1:700 scale ships—cannons, lockers, cable reels, and the like—and I couldn’t be more pleased. The price was fair, the shipping was quicker than a clipper on a tailwind, and the cost to send it all the way from Australia didn’t scuttle me wallet. Most impressively, the seller packed it all with the care of a shipwright—fragile as they be, not a single piece was damaged. Top marks to this seller, I’ll be back fer more!
