Vietnam...1/48 North American F-100D Super Sabre 481st TFS


Recommended Posts

#22/2018

One of my dad´s excursions to the post WW2 era.
Like all Trumpeter kits, also this one has dimensional and shape issues, but it looks like a Super Sabre.
Super Scale (Squadron) decals, painted with Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium, AGM-12 rockets and BLU-27 napalm canisters from Hasegawa weapon sets, kit seat with Fine Molds WW2 seatbelts, lead wire for the lower brake lines.

Model depicts a 481st TFS 27th TFW aircraft at Tan Sun Nhut AB RVN in 1965.

I have to agree with that - the 'rear end' looks amazing.  But to be fair that is just the icing on the cake - a brilliant build from nose to tail. :goodjob:

Really like it! Unforgiving NMF is great, and that especially goes for burnt metal!
