Trumpeter 1/32 F100 D Super Sabre

February 17, 2025 · in Aviation · 20 · 265

My latest build with the following corrections and additions:

1)Corrected the inaccurate nose intake with plastic card & Magic Scalp.

2) Shortened the main undercarriage so that the model sat with a more nose up attitude.

3) Cockpit and wheel wells from Aires

4) 3D printed afterburner & exhaust and fuel tank and MK 82 Snakeyes from Reskit

5) got rid of that nasty step behind the slats. There is no step there as it is a smooth transition onto the wing.

The kit loadout was typical for the jet in Vietnam. Often referred to as the " shake & bake" loadout.

Kit decals were used and were excellent although I have no idea how accurate they are. This was a very enjoyable build with no issues and a welcome addition to my Vietnam collection.
