F-86L

From 1951, the high performance, all weather F-86D Sabre Dog fighter had started to be delivered to the US Air Defense Command. During the upgrade, comprising new guiding system SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) the F-86D was converted to the F-86L version. The external changes comprised new antenna (of the AN/ARR-39) located below the fuselage, new embossed auxiliary intakes instead of the original embedded.

The wing was lengthened and the wing chord was deepened; the slots remained unchanged.

The kit contains three sprues with grey plastic parts, vacu canopy, resin and photo-etched parts. Decals are provided for three F-86L aircraft both from USAF and Air National Guards. All three aircraft are very colorful. Decals include stencils.
