A rare opportunity to acquire a model hand-signed by an American astronaut, this limited edition, 1/72 scale, die cast Hobby Master model of an F-100D Super Sabre flown by 1st Lt. Joe H. Engle (the only individual to fly two different vehicles into space, the X-15 and the Space Shuttle) of the 474th Fighter Day Squadron, 31st Tactical Fighter Wing, stationed at George Air Force Base in 1958, includes a display stand nameplate hand signed by 1st Lt. Engle himself!
And that's just the beginning, because this fully-loaded model has all the great quality and detail you've come to expect from Hobby Master: engraved panel lines; a detailed cockpit with a removable pilot figure and an opening canopy; reconfigurable bombs, missiles, and fuel tanks; a realistic engine air intake with a pitot tube beneath it; optional-position landing gear; and authentic markings. 7¾" long; arrives ready to display on the included stand.
