stevej60 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Evening Folks,this one was built for the Frog GB,it's the old Hasegawa tooling released by Frog in the seventies as part of a two way deal selling each companies kits in their respective countries.the moldings were pretty good and the decals were usable but as I'd built a NM Sabre in Danish colours I wanted to do a painted scheme and had the decal sheet for this version which served in Djibouti in 1978.These aircraft were well worn and near retirement but the sharks mouth was freshly painted in theatre,thanks for looking in. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Ah ha! steve! A great '100! And a Frenchie too! They were great in that scheme. If I could face another Super Sabre build I would do one in a French camo scheme. A nice build. Thanks for posting. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I especially like the way you have dealt with the rear fuselage panels. Its a hard job to pull off realistically but you have done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Very nice, great title and could just as easily have been in the Sharkmouth GB 😄 I also like the way you portrayed the aft fuselage, really well done. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Great job! I think you have nailed those elusive French colours, especially when faded by the desert sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 A very nice F-100. The French scheme is one of the best IMHO, and you have ,made that old FROG model look splendid. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
