Trumpeter 1/72 F-100c "HUN"

[T. van Vuuren]

Hey lads.

Here it is all done.

Thrump F-100c Super Sabre.

A very vell detailed kit with good fit.

I just added seat belts, and replaced the stabilizor glue tabs with pins so thay coulc be "dropped" like I have seen in most pix.

The decals worried me allot, but once I got started they were easy to fit with good regester.Some micro sol sorted them out well.

Alclad airframe alluminium used , I shot 3 coats over gloss black , masekd off the "dark panels" and shot 3 more coats to lighten it. Alclad semi matt clear coat over all, a little more dull than I wanted, but I will have to live with it.

Great build, paintwork and decals are outstanding.

My first tought was "Wow, a gay plane" Sorry about that hehe

With the rainbow colors on the tail, the idea of the 'gay plane' is hard to miss...

But once I got past that part, the model took on a life of it's own, and I didn't notice anymore.

Looks good when paired with the F86 too!

That's a cracking build Theuns! Hard to believe it's 1/72!

There's definitely no subtlety about those markings so well done for a great job on the decals.

Cheers

Definately Gay pride on that plane! Might explain the pitot tube aswell LOL (some Freudism on this HUN)

I initially did not want to put the bold markings on, but having never used Trump decals I thought - OK, let's try the big band and if it goes wrong it will not matter. That went on extremely well so I thought - OK, lets see how far I can push my luck LOL

Wonderful finish Theuns. It's all turned out well, the decals have been applied nicely. Great build.

Lovely build. One of my favourite aircraft (along with the F-86).

Hi Theuns

Fabulous build and finish on both the aircraft. They make a very good pair when seen together and the markings certainly make them stand out.

2 great models that are all the more remarkable because they are 1/72.

Great stuff and gong for sure!
