Great idea to reproduce this F-100F of the Flight Test Center and you did it very well !😍 The metal finish and the dayglow are very good and the result is perfect. Bravo !!

Biggles87 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Beautiful Craig. I also like the worn dayglo and the heat stained rear fuselage. John. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolo Thank you very much Lolo. I like aircraft from the Flight Test Center as they have carried some very interesting schemes over the years, and I am very glad that you like the dayglo and metal finish. 7 hours ago, Biggles87 said: Beautiful Craig.

PattheCat Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Striking, Craig! The hot metal effects are superb and the NMF and dayglo as well. You know I used the same paints for my Tunnan. Curious to know if, like me, you had (really annoying) dry tip problems with Revell's Aqua orange? Thanks for bringing such a beauty to our attention. Stands on top of my "list" for "best of 2022".

The Aqua Colour can indeed dry quickly on the tip, when I use it I keep a damp cotton bud handy and as soon as I think the drying has started I use it to clean the tip, takes seconds and saves stopping spraying. Not sure about it being on your "best of 2022" list though. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, someone doing a NMF and dayglo scheme can't possibly be that shy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 That's unique I like it. Great paint job too very striking. An enjoyable kit to build you say? Good fit I take it? I'm between kits now and there's nothing in my stash that jumps out at me but this is inspiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I found it to be a good fitting model, only needed a very small amount of filler on the underside of the nose, other than that it was very good. 1 hour ago, Alan P said: Love this Craig, beautifully done with a realistic worn look.

bianfuxia Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 A very fine build indeed - well done! I have to say I'm not sure I'd want to be sitting in that thing trying to keep up with a returning X-15...but it's a fantastic model! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a slight discrepancy between the performance of the F-100 and X-15 isn't there! 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 That is a very nice finish. You’ve nailed the weathering and the worn look. I’ve built quite a few Trumpeter kits, some of which had horror stories about inaccuracies from some very picky reviewers. However, they all went together very well and looked close enough to the real things for me. At the end of the day it’s all about enjoying the build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely about Trumpeter (and other manufacturers kits) and I am sure there are problems with my F-100 but it looks like an F-100 to me and it was a pleasure to build, and like you say we're supposed to do this for fun and fun it was, in fact I've ordered one of their F-100C's to go with it. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Nut Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Do you have any images that you used for reference? Over the years I've only found one photo of the Edwards F-100F and it was taken from a distance in formation with the B-52 and shows no detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
