Description

A rare tribute to a Century Series legend and NASA astronaut. This 1:72 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA2120A) recreates the North American F-100D Super Sabre flown by Joe Engle of the 474th Fighter Day Squadron, 31st TFW, based at George AFB in 1958. This "Signature Edition" is highly exclusive, with a limited production of only 300 pieces worldwide, each featuring a display stand hand-signed by Joe Engle himself. Engle famously went on to become an X-15 test pilot and commanded the Space Shuttle Columbia, making this specific airframe a vital piece of history for collectors of both frontline Cold War fighters and aerospace pioneers.

Ideal for curators of US Air Force history and NASA memorabilia, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of the supersonic era. The model is engineered for scale accuracy, featuring the F-100’s signature "heat-stained" unpainted rear fuselage, crisp panel lines, and a detailed cockpit with a hinged canopy. This premium diecast metal model offers a sophisticated display presence for collectors prioritizing provenance and pilot legacy, making it a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the 31st TFW heritage.
