F-86 Sabre USAF Fighter wood model airplane is a handmade sculpture, made of mahogany wood. Each is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep rich finish that distinguishes these models from all others is created when the artist hand paints all of the details onto each piece. No decals are used.
These fine hand crafted model requires little special care. We recommend you keep the wood model out of direct sun light and away from sources of heat or cold. Dust with a soft cloth, do not use paper products.
The North American Aviation F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. The Sabre is best known for its Korean War role where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15 and obtained UN air superiority. Although developed in the late 1940s and outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved adaptable and continued as a front line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
Its success led to an extended production run of more than 7,800 aircraft between 1949 and 1956, in the United States, Japan and Italy. It was by far the most-produced Western jet fighter, with total production of all variants at 9,860 units.
Variants were built in Canada and Australia. The Canadair Sabre added another 1,815 airframes, and the significantly redesigned CAC Sabre (sometimes known as the Avon Sabre or CAC CA-27), had a production run of 112. |
