A 1/48 scale model kit of the North American F-86 version of the Sabre.
A later development of the classic Sabre, the F-86F-40 variant was the ultimate day fighter version of this famous aircraft and featured a number of improvements which kept the Sabre at the forefront of world fighter technology.
With a new engine giving the aircraft more power this variant re-introduced the leading edge slats to the '6-3' wing area increase, enhancing the dogfighting capabilities of this famous fighter, whilst at the same time reducing the aircraft's landing approach speed to a much more manageable 124 mph.
These modifications proved so successful that many earlier variants of the Sabre were retrospectively upgraded to include these advancements.
The Sabre was the fastest plane in the world when it entered service.
