SuperKungFu Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 In light of the recently released F-86 module, I actually picked up this model airplane made by Hobby Master in 1:72 scale North American F-86F Sabre USAF 4th FIW, 334th FIS, #52-4513 Flown by James Jabara Kimpo AB, Korea July 1953 Item: HA4307, 1:72 Scale During WWII P-51 pilot James “Jabby” Jabara scored 1.5 victories, it was during the Korean War flying F-86s that he excelled. On December 13,1950 Jabara arrived in South Korea with the 334th FIS / 4th FIW and by April 22, 1951 had 4 MiG-15 victories. On July 15, 1953 James Jabara downed his 15th MiG-15 and became a triple ace after two tours of duty and flying 163 combat missions. He was the second highest scoring U.S. Korean War pilot after Captain Joseph McConnell with 16 MiG-15 victories. This is my first Hobby Master Sabre model, I absolutely love it! It comes pre-assembled, you just put it in the configuration you want (i.e. fully loaded, empty, gear up or down...etc and display it) HM really nailed the look of this aircraft, and I love this livery. I had seen it perform in-person during the March AFB show, here is a picture of the real aircraft: Here is some pictures of the model itself: And here she is next to her best friend: the Hobby Master MiG-15, item: HA2410 (at least on the ground anyway...in the skies is a totally different story) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwolf Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 lol. I did some scale modeling when i was a kid. Had some free time, decided to start over again last year, and do all DCS aircraft. By the time, not that much at the local shop so when i finished my KA and my P51, decided to go for the F86 they had in the shop. A few day later, when i finished building it, Belsimtek announced their F86. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.
