F-86E "George Davis" 51-2752 4th FIG 334th FIS USAF 1952 (unconfirmed scheme) in 1:72 scale
This is the F-86E "George Davis" 51-2752 4th FIG 334th FIS USAF 1952 (unconfirmed scheme) in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The F-86E Sabre 51-2752, flown by Major George Davis of the 334th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, 4th Fighter-Interceptor Group in 1952, was a pivotal aircraft in the Korean War’s high-speed jet duels over “MiG Alley.” Distinguished by its all-moving tailplane—an innovation that gave the F-86E superior pitch control at transonic speeds—this Sabre gave Davis the edge in dogfights against the nimble MiG-15. On February 10, 1952, Davis scored two kills in this jet before being shot down, posthumously earning the Medal of Honor. His fearless tactics and the aircraft’s advanced design solidified the F-86E as a dominant force in one of the earliest jet-versus-jet air wars in history.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
