The F-86 Sabre


I have not seen many replicas of the famed F-86, an i suspect is is due to its extremely difficult nose and fuselage, so i have decided to give a go at making a replica, and here it is.

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 which 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is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras.^[3] Although it was developed in the late 1940s and was outdated by the end of the '50s, the Sabre proved versatile and adaptable, and continued as a front-line fighter in numerous air forces until the last active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. -Wikipedia

 

 

 

 

This craft can actually hold 2 Kerbals due to the cockpit design, and has a very unique IVA. It is powered by 4 Juno engines, and weighs about 7 tons. If you cannot recognize, the nose is actually 3 of the re-skinned radial intakes. The craft flies like a beauty, and while it's engines are basic jets, it can still go nearly 400 miles per hour, and with over 250 units of fuel, it can fly for quite a long time. The craft also has a extremely slow stall speed, at around 50 m/s, and is incredibly maneuverable.

It looks very good ... although I can't escape the idea it's a little bit too short. Might be the wine ;-)

Repped!

It looks very nice. Need to rep you for it. How did you get the cockpit like that?
