Andy341 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hi, It has been a while since I completed anything, but with having a little more time on my hands just recently I have completed Trumpeters 1/48 F-100C in the colours of 188th TFS, New Mexico Air National Guard, Tuy Hoa, 1070. I used Eduard's cockpit, exterior and undercarriage set to enhance the detail. Paints were Mr Hobby on the upper surfaces and Life Color on the underside. The metallic paint on the rear of the fuselage are Vallejo's dark aluminium and aluminium. I built this kit as my cousin in the USA was an instrument fitter on these when he was in the Ohio ANG stationed in South Korea. Unfortunately, no markings are available for a F-100C machine of the Ohio ANG, however there are for a D model. Guess which kit is next on the list to purchase. Next at on the production line is an Italeri F7F N3 Tigercat in Korean War colours. Regards Andy 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Excellent model, beautifully painted - particularly on the rear fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janremco Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Lovely looking F-100. As already written the rear end is done well. Jan Remco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy341 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Thanks for the kind comments. I have found the Vallejo metallic paint easy to use and give a comparable finish to Alclad, but without the smell and being acrylic easier to clean. kind regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
