Tasman 1/72 Indonesian or Australian CA-27 Avon Sabre plastic model kit

1/72 Tasman Indonesian or Australian CA-27 Avon Sabre

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

The F-86 Sabre was manufactured in Australia for specific RAAF needs. The largest change was the installation of the Rolls-Royce Mk26 Avon turbojet which had more thrust than the US engine. This in turn required a larger intake. Two Aden cannons were fitted, one to each side. The first flight was in 1953 and a total of 113 were built. They had a long service life and served overseas as well as in combat in Malaysia. When the service life ended in 1971, the aircraft were mothballed. However, the Australian Government gave 16 to Indonesia as a gift in 1973. Very nicely molded conversion uses the Fujimi F-86 as a base kit. Includes very colorful decals for one Indonesian unit. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions.
