F 86K Sabre Dog „Nato All Weather Fighter“

In accordance with the US Mutual Defense Assistance

Program for NATO Air Forces, a simplified version of

the F-86D was designed. It was designated the F-86K. 

North American produced several aircraft but the main

production line was shifted to Fiat in Italy, where license

production had already started. The F-86K was put in

service with the air forces of Italy, Holland, Norway,

France and Germany. The older machines were later

purchased by Turkey and Venezuela.

The kit contains three sprues with grey plastic parts,

vacuformed canopy, resin wheels and photo-etched parts.

Decals are for three machines, all of them in natural metal

finish. Italian and Dutch aircraft wear the unit marking on

the vertical fin. The most fancy is the Norwegian aircraft

that sports unit marking, shark mouth and art drawing of

a dog. The stencils are particular to each aircraft.

F2G Super Corsair „Racing Plane“

When the Japanese “Kamikaze” attacks first occurred, the Allies

tried to find an effective defense against these attacks. One of

the defense solutions was to be an extremely powerful fighter

aircraft, with excellent climbing ability and speed. One of these

fighters was the F2G Super Corsair. Only 10 aircraft were produced

before the end of WW2, most of them were sold to civilian users

and became “pylon race” stars.

Our new F2G kit offers a choice of 3 fancy racer aircraft. 

One of the aircraft was recently reconstructed and is in flying

condition. As well as this red and white “57” machine, the

kit offers overall blue “74” with white checkerboard on the

cowling and “18” Miss Port Columbus in blue and white colors.
