srkirad Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Good evening mates, I'll join this GB with one of oldies which probably most of us liked to see during 80s - ESCI 1/72 F-100D Super Sabre. Most interesting choice from the kit was the Danish G-279 F-100D. On all of the photos this example seem to be freshly painted into glossy Olive Drab, and that should represent later painting scheme when they replaced old not so durable paints with those glossy shades. But somehow I would like to paint it in a typical Danish heavily weathered manner, so I have to apologize in advance for making not so historically accurate example. Here are aftermarket sets I plan to use Cheers, S. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Welcome to the GB, and with a classic kit of a classic aircraft. The ESCI 1/72 F-100D was the best F-100 in any scale when it was released and still looks good today. I built a few of these in my youth and loved them. Nice choice of scheme too, the F-100 carried some nice marking in it's service with Denmark and the very weathered early green ones look great. I know you are doing a later more glossy one which you intend to weather which whilst they did not weather to the same extent as the earlier green ones they did still weather in service. Very much looking forward to seeing what you can do with this classic. 🇺🇦 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Nice to see a Danish one in the mix. There’s a lot of 1/72 in this GB. Weather it how you see fit and enjoy 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the proposal for sure, I appreciate it! Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
