The F-86F-40 Sabre was one of the most recognizable jet fighters of the Cold War era, widely used during the Korean War, where it fought against Soviet MiG-15s. The aircraft was famous for its excellent maneuverability and modern armament – it was produced in thousands of units and served in the air forces of many NATO countries up until the 1960s.

The Eduard 491298 set offers a complete array of finely detailed parts, including the cockpit, instrument panel, photo-etched seatbelts, seat details, and interior fuselage elements.
