Revell Models 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog Description
The Revell 1/48 F-86D Sabre Dog plastic aircraft model accurately recreates the real life fighter interceptor. This plastic aircraft kit requires paint and glue to complete.
The F-86D Sabre was 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 them. At the beginning of the 1950s 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 in the Californian Salton Sea: 698,505 miles per hour (1,124.13 km/h). The first unit to receive the first F-86Ds was the 3625th Flying Training Wing in Tyndall AFB Florida in June 1952.
