Hobby Master HA4321 1/72 Air Power Series
Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA4321 replicates in 1/72 scale diecast the CA-27 Sabre Mk.32 serial number A94-983 “Black Diamond”, a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Aerobatic Team from No.75 Squadron, circa the early 1960s.
Black Diamonds
The “Black Diamonds” was an aerobatic display team of the Royal Australian Air Force from 1961 until 1964. The team flew four CA-27 Mk.32 Sabres of No. 75 Squadron.
CAC CA-27 Sabre
The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) CA-27 Sabre is an Australian, single-seat, single-engine fighter and fighter bomber variant of the North American F-86-F Sabre. The first flight occurred on August 3, 1953, entering service in 1954. One hundred twelve airframes were built before production ended in 1961.
Using the Rolls-Royce Avon instead of the General Electric J47 required a re-design of the fuselage. Two 30mm ADEN cannons replaced the F-86F’s six machine guns, other changes were made to the cockpit and fuel capacity increased.
The type saw action in the late 1950s during the Malayan Emergency. Ex-RAAF models served with the Royal Malaysian Air Force and the Indonesian Air Force.
The armament consisted of two Aden cannons in the fuselage nose and four external hardpoints carrying up to 2,400 kg (5,300 lb) of stores.
