Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Evening everybody... Id like to present my 1/72 Trumpeter F-107 Ultrasabre. I built in the “They also serve group build”. I built mine as 55120 which did indeed serve with NACA/NASA from 1957-59. I however was not inspired by the factory test scheme of silver lacquer with red panels. While researching NASA test aircraft looking for photo’s I came across two of Convair’s Aircraft. The Delta Dagger and Dart in a striking ADC Grey and Gloss Sea Blue scheme. Thats when the gears started to slowly grind through the rust that is my brain. I decided to build the 107 as a Whif in this scheme. Theorizing that NASA kept it for longer and decided to repaint it in a different guise at some point to match the Convair types. So I present you my F-107 circa 1971 in the later Scheme. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Very cool Dennis - you don't see too many F-107's, let alone in NASA markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Very cool indeed! Looks absolutely fantastic in that beautifully executed scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That is splendid, Dennis - both the build and the scheme! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 It's always nice when you can let your imagination run and produce something different yet plausible. Very nice build. What is the kit like to build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice build. What is the kit like to build? Not bad actually, the fit is ok but needs a bit of work. One of the other reasons I steered away from the silver/red scheme. The link is at the top of the post if you want to have a read through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 A most unusual looking beast! I'd be tempted to do a 107 what if & slot that intake underneath the cockpit F-16 style in an operational scheme. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Sharp! Really sharp. It's good to see a WHIF, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
