Pete in a shed Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hello all. Another parallel build finished yesterday; this is the F-100F from Trumpeter. I really enjoyed this kit, it had next to no fit issues and minimal cleaning up was required on the parts. It’s finished as a RoCAF example from Chiayi AFB, Taiwan, circa 1960. The decals coming from the Xtradecal sheet X72-119. Paints were my usual Humbrol 27002/3 with Flory wash for the panel lines and a little Tamiya burnt metal blue powder on the engine panels. Nothing much else to say other than now I want to do the Trumpeter single seater to use more of the excellent Xtradecal sheet. Trouble is which one to do?🤔 Hope you like it. Thanks for looking Pete 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 That's really nice work Pete. The finish is top-notch and the 'burnt' area of the rear fuselage is very nicely done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchem Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've always been a fan of the F-100 since I saw a build article on the 1/48 Monogram kit in Scale Models magazine many years ago. Unfortunately, I've got around to buying / building one. You've done a cracking job on the build and paintwork Pete. Looking forward to seeing your next one. mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you detail how you work with it please.. Thank you very much. I use 27002 as the colour for the majority of the airframe and generally apply this as the last colour. The panels and areas that I want in different metallic shades are sprayed first. For the F100 the upper wing and tail plane centre areas were sprayed with 27002 with Xtra colour pale grey (any) added. The rear engine is 27002 and 3 about 80/20 plus a little matt black. I then added more 27003 to the leftover colour and sprayed stripes to start the stripy burnt metal effect. The forward engine panel is 27002 with a little 27003. The black areas were hand painted. All these areas were then masked and the rest of the model sprayed with 27002. I don't use undercoat and always spray slightly thinned 27002 in successive passes to build up the colour . After decaling and panel lining I seal the whole thing in a mix of Xtra gloss and matt to create a semi matt finish. Any staining now goes on top of this. Its pretty forgiving to use as you can pretty well add anything to it to make different shades and it dries really quickly, so have a go, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

BKirwan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Love this Hun. Nice to see her in theswe colours as well. The Trumpeter is a nice kit its just a pity the 2 seater is way off. Doesn't affect the quality of your work though. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinpin Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Thank you for your reply. I tried 27002 some time ago, on an Airfix F86 in Yugoslav marking which is somewhere on BM, brush painted from a tin and could not get it to polish up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
