Skyhunter66 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Afternoon folks - this is the Trumpeter 1:48 F100F Super Sabre and was a very enjoyable kit to build. I chose the SEA scheme of 614th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, Phan Rang, Vietnam 1968. This is largely OOB with Eduard interior detail. I used Mr Color paints and Alcald shades on the rear end and had some debate with myself as to whether I should have done it all the around. In the end I liked it as it was and decided not to tinker with it for fear of making a hash of it! A big thank you to Spooky56 who kindly sent me some replacement decals following a slight cock up - much appreciated! I enjoyed doing this one so much I have bought two other Trumpeter F100's! Hope you like it and comments welcome! Chris 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 maybe I'm getting old, but I like these planes. And very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Awesome! I hope to do a 1/72 of one of these some day. You need to do some fancy photography to show this one off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That's a cracker. Tempted to buy one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Now that is gorgeous. The SEA camo is perfect and the weathering is spot on. I have this in 1/72 and I am very tempted to move it to the top of the "Stash Mountain"...... Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That's very nice indeed, some photos against a plain background would show it even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks great, agreed with the photography comment, you should photo it somewhere without a busy background... will look ten times better! Also, what are the pylons on top of the wings? Never seen them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyhunter66 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Many thanks for all your kind comments - I like the SEA camo and in fact it was my first go and doing it. I also did the greens freehand with the airbrush and I was pleased with the result. Currently I am doing the Hasegawa 1:48 F104c in the same scheme so they should both look well together! I took the photos with my IPad but agree I could do a lot better. Looking at getting one of those photo tents to make it easier Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
