Cold War-F-86 Saber (v.2)

42.4k Supercraft888  8.6 years ago

So after HKAreodynamics stated that my other F-86 didn't look like an actual F-86, I des coded to start from scratch and build another one! So here it is, in my opinion it looks even worse, but that's up for debate. Anyway the differences are, a slower max speed, no after burners, a more realistic wheel layout and better weapons load out,

---NOTES---
-Updated Version of past f-86
-easier to take off with better wheel layout
-better weapons loadout, Now with rockets and bombs

---Instructions---
-VTOL up for airbrakes

---Descrpition---
(from Wikipedia)
The North American F-86 Sabre, sometimes called the Sabrejet, was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as the United States' first swept wing fighter that could counter the similarly-winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights over the skies of the Korean War (1950–1953). Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in that war, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras.[3] Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the '50s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable, and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active operational 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. 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. The Sabre was by far the most-produced Western jet fighter, with total production of all variants at 9,860 units.[1]
