At the start of the Korean War the US Air Force did not have a fighter aircraft that could match the MiG-15's. The F86 brought the US into the jet age in dramatic fashion. With 6 50 caliber machine guns mounted on the nose it only needed to get in position to shoot down MiGs. (Revell model kit) I was building this model plane and wanted to create it in simple-planes-so hear it is. I have been woking on it from the start of winter break. Instructions: Cannon for the 50 Cals' and 1 to drop the bombs. Because of the wings on the bombs you need to aim a little in-head of the bomb sight to hit target. ??
