First look at the 1:18 scale F-86 first shots
21C proudly announces the forthcoming release of the F-86F Sabre in our signature 1/18th scale.
-Historical Significance-
The design work for the F-86 Sabre was begun before the end of World War 2. Originally designed with straight wings and tailplanes, it could not reach the speeds the Air Force required, so new swept wings and tailplanes were fitted, and the F-86 was born. The swept wings made slow speed handling extremely touchy, so automatic leading edge slats were added. These worked well and landing speeds and handling were greatly improved. There was a penalty however, in that it was found that in combat with the excellent Russian Mig-15 during the Korean War, the MiG had a distinct advantage in turning. This led to a redesign of the wing. The new wing was known as the 6-3 hard wing, and became standard on the F-86F. This new wing eliminated the turning advantage of the MiG-15, and the excellent combat record of the Sabre was a testament to this classic fighter jet's design.
The 21st Century Toys F-86 represents the F model fitted with the 6-3 hard wing. This was the version that turned the tide and brought air superiority to the USAF and its allies in the Korean War. Our new Sabre features many exciting features that will once again raise the bar in 1/18th scale. These include:
1) Wings and tailplanes feature thin trailing edges.
2) All flying surfaces and flaps are poseable with a full range of movement featuring an all new proprietary hinge system.
3) Correctly shaped clear canopy that opens to access the highly detailed cockpit
4) Deep intake trunking routed under the cockpit floor -JUST LIKE THE REAL F-86.
5) Nosewheel rotates 90 degrees to lie flat in gearbay.
6) Airbrakes can be posed in open or closed position.
7) Authentically detailed, highly poseable Korean War era pilot figure has detachable oxygen mask and parachute.
8) Comes with 2 long range drop tanks.
9) Detailed cockpit features an all new 21C exclusive design instrument panel with highly detailed dials.
10) Features our first ever complete, detailed gunbays featuring six .50 cal Browning machine guns with removable doors.
11) Doors fold down to reveal detailed ammunition canisters.
12) Full deep jet exhaust pipe.
And there's more new features to come. As you can see, 21st Century has spent a lot of time making sure our new F-86F Sabre is the best your money can buy. The photos you see are of the first test shots. There are a number of engineering, shape accuracy and fit issues that have already been incorporated in the following production phases, and work continues at a fever pitch. Watch this space for more news about the Sabre as we race to the finish line and get this beauty into production and in to fans collections.
As you probably know by now, the Saber will be released concurrently with our new 1/18th scale MiG-15bis, the aircraft that rose to fame as the main opponent of the F-86 during the Korean war. Russian designed and built, the MiGs were mostly piloted by highly experienced Russian and Chinese pilots during the conflict. It proved to be an extremely agile and heavily armed aircraft; a dangerous adversary!. More news on the MiG to follow shortly. Watch this space!
