I appreciate all of you watching my videos! ✳️Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/militaryvehiclereviews If you could help support this channel so I can keep buying and reviewing these pre-built models I would really appreciate your support 😃. I plan on reviewing ALL of the 21st Century, Elite Force, Jsi/Merit 1:18 scale models. It will get expensive haha.

For the price when they were first released, the detail was pretty cool.

You know if you had a extra pair of planes you should maybe do a raffle wall giveaway in price and one of your loyal subscribers

The two, Sidewinder, air-to-air missiles definitely mark this F-86F Sabre jet as a late 1950s version. The USAF retained its F-86F and F-86H Sabre jets well into the 1950s even as the F-100 Super Sabre was entering operational service. Many F-86F jets were given to American allies like the Greeks, Norwegians, Italians, Nationalist Chinese, etc. The British Royal Air Force was in the process of developing its own state-of-the art jet fighter. In the meantime the RAF wisely decided to purchase a number of Canadian license-built F-86F jets as an interim measure. The F-86 lasted into the 1970s assigned to the U.S. Air National Guard. In foreign allied air forces the F-86 lasted even longer.

The ammo bay covers acted as a step for the pilot to use to climb into the plane. You swung down the door, then opened two more steps (vertical panels on door; kind of like motorcycle pegs) and climbed into the cockpit. When showing the pilot climbing into the plane via the wing route, at very least the ammo door should be in the lowered position... Love this plane; I still have mine from the early 2000s.

Dude, these things were great considering we are looking at 20 years ago. They would still sell very well today. My biggest complaint, at the time, was the plastic was different than what other companies were using. It was very creaky, which made people afraid of would break easy. Some larger pieces broke in the packaging. The planes were their symphony.

I like this 1/18 F-86 Sabre too🛩😎👫👨‍✈️👍

It's a small quibble but a Korean War vintage F-86 would not have carried AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, which were introduced in 1956.

From what I can remember, I'm pretty sure that the F-86 was capable of carrying them, just the US models never did. Then again, the F-86H may have carried them. Now, Sabre variants used by Japan, Taiwan, Germany, etc did carry Sidewinders.

It's a shame these kits aren't available on the open market AT THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE😀😀 not ebay. Only caveat, except for the ME 262, their century jets have the panels way too deep, especially on the F-104. This F86 is not bad. But hey, I still wouldn't kick them out of my model case 😀

I have one of these a 1 of the P-40 and they really are beautiful models! And it’s true, I wish they would bring them back to Walmart at the non eBay cost! 👍🙋‍♂️🖖🏻

Heheh I remember when these were almost brand new on the flight line. And yes at 6:35 you do have the front gear backwards ;)

another great video! :D thanks!

Oh wow beautiful

It's a wonderful plane.

Have you ever tried to use a Saber to unbox a Sabre?

Wow! Nice!

The F-86F Sabre jet was a greatly improved version of the early F-86A model. The F-86A was the first American jet to fight the Communist Soviet-built MiG-15 on equal terms over the skies of North Korea near the Chinese border in late 1950. Earlier American jets lacked the speed to match the MiG-15 which could outclimb and out-turn American early jets. But the F-86A possessed its own share of shortcomings. The biggest was its top altitude of 45,000 feet compared to 50,000 feet for the lighter MiG-15. MiG-15 pilots quickly discovered this difference and used their higher max altitude to stay above the F-86A jets, either to bounce the Sabres or escape by flying higher. The following F-86E model narrowed the max altitude discrepancy to 47,000 feet through a slightly larger wing with improved ailerons. The F-86F model brought true parity against the MiG-15 and then some. Its max altitude was 49,000 feet but the one thousand feet difference was not enough to help the MiG-15 when it was 5,000 feet, a huge difference. The F version possessed the larger wing but even more improved. An improved Allison jet engine gave more speed and faster climb. The F-86F still used six, 0.50 caliber heavy machine guns but combat experience showed the Americans it was inadequate in jet against jet aerial combat. The Sabre needed to go to 20mm cannon and it did so in the improved F-86H which did not see combat. The F-86H is another story. In the comparison of both jets, the Sabre possessed better avionics and a radar gunsight while the MiG-15 used a WW2 reflector-type gunsight. The training of American jet pilots was better and many were WW2 veterans. The Sabre and MiG-15 pilot were more evenly matched when Russian pilots, many WW2 veterans, flew the MiG-15 jet. But the Soviet Union soon withdrew all of its fighter pilots. North Korean and Red Chinese pilots flew the MiG-15. American Sabre jet pilots immediately noticed the pilot quality difference.

Very cool.

Man... I would die to have one of these BF109s by Elite Force T.T

Brilliant how you move the pilot'to make it look as if he's inspecting the jet and then climbing into the cockpit!!!?It's those simple touches that makea video!!!!!!

😊 I love this kit whait till i get one of these model kits

I would have loved to get the complete collection one day

Cuánto es el costo de cada uno de esos modelos y dónde se pueden conseguir? La verdad es que están muy hermosos me gustaría mucho tener aunque sea uno.

Not overpriced at all to a collector. It is like a car collector buying a classic '57 Chevy with low miles on the odometer. You will likely never find one, and the ones you do find for sale are now 30 times the original sales price. Some of that cost is due to inflation over the last 60+ years. Good luck buying a new car today for $2300. Some of these airplane models were very rare even when new, and you would be lucky to get exactly the ones you wanted. That also adds to the demand.
