TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Good morning Yesterday I started the Trumpetter F100D SuperSabre i would like to represent Pretty Penny flown by 1/Lt. Jerry Salome 481 TFS based at Tan Son Nhut AB in 1965 F100D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_F-100_Super_SabreTrumpetterhttp://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/ ... 1649.shtmlI will use the Aires set for detailling the cockpit and the decals sheet from an Italeri F100D build earlier .. So far I have just painted the cockpit interior in grey , I also painted the undercarriage legs in silver ..

philp Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I have the ESCI kit of the Sabre and also plan to do it as Pretty Penny (ok, just like the nose art). I picked up the Obscurco replacement wing with dropped slates as an upgrade. Not sure if it would fit the Trumpeter kit. http://www.obscureco.com/product_pages/OBS72013/OBS72013.html Still need to find the canister bomblet pods for the outer wing pylons as seen in the old Squadron book. Will be watching to see how yours comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Philp Earlier this year I built an Italeri F100D in french markings I had planned to use the Obscureco wings with dropped flaps that I had purchased directly from mr Bucholz but when I started my build in january I realised that Mr Bucholz had made a mistake and sent me the set for converting a F 100D into an F100C http://www.obscureco.com/product_pages/OBS72012/OBS72012.htmland despite several emails he never sent me the good ones .. If you can tell me where I can find the ref OBS 72013 in Europe I would be very grateful .. Patrice Good choice Patrice. Nice to see a Hun in the build. Looking forward to seeing pictures. Hi Snapper City Thank you ... I hope I will have time to make some progress and some pics this We .. Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngstROM Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Patrice, regarding the 'NMF', I'm reasonably sure that Pretty Penny had the post-1961 'Project Look-Alike' silver aluminium/lacquer finish. Hopefully someone with more specific knowledge can put me right on this...? Excellent work on this elegant aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
