The Hawker
Hunter, Grumman Panther, NA Sabre, and MiG
15 are classics from the Keil Kraft
Junior Scale series of the 1950s. These four scale freeflight
models by KeilKraft are designed for
Powermax Jet-X motors. All are built-up
stick and tissue ships of Solarbo balsa,
with molded plastic canopies. The
quality of material in the new (reissue)
kits is better than in the original
versions. The Hunter, Panther and Sabre
have 1/24-inch [1 mm] sheet, as in the
originals.
The very popular Hunter is one of
the hardest to fly. (It has the least
wing area, and the tail rigging angle
might be too large.) This model (like
the Swift) has the fuselage bult up on
two keels slotted to take bulkheads, side
frames, nose blocks, etc.
The Panther, which is a
straight-wing, requires an exaggerated
dihedral.
The Sabre is a good flier. To save
weight, fewer ribs are used than might be
expected, and the wings are quite
fragile. 1/24-inch [1 mm] sheet formers
are used. The indicated dihedral angle
may be reduced somewhat, and the plane
still flown well.
The MiG 15 is perhaps the best of
these kits. It is easy to build, and
quite attractive. It has a 15" [38 cm]
span. (These notes mostly from Terry
Kidd.)

The Lightning is a large model with a
lot of wood in the construction. Perhaps a
bit oversized for the Jetex
50.
The
Me 163 is a very nice reproduction,
with some vacuum-formed parts. Also a
bit small for the Jetex 50
motors.
