F-107A Model

The North American F-107 was North American Aviations (NAA) entry in a United States Air Force tactical fighter-bomber design competition of the 1950s. The F-107 incorporated many innovations and radical design features, and was based on the F-100 Super Sabre. Extensive design changes resulted in its redesignation from F-100B to F-107A before the first prototype flew. The F-107 was never given an official name, but was sometimes informally called the ""Super Super Sabre"" referring to North Americans earlier fighter design, the F-100 Super Sabre. The flight crews referred to it as the ""man eater"", in reference to the position of the air intake directly above the cockpit. Painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail, this 1/40-scale model makes a great pilot gift, or a present for any aviation enthusiast or history buff.
