F-100D Super Sabre
1:42 scale
The North American F-100 Super Sabre was a supersonic multiple-role fighter-bomber from the cold war. It was introduced in the early 50's as a replacement for the Korean War F-86 Sabre. Its design was revolutionary for the time, and was a huge step in fighter jet development. It was the first jet capable of supersonic speeds at level flight. The F-100 deployed to Vietnam during Operation Rolling Thunder in 1965. It was one of the most effective bombers of the war, and was continued to be used in Vietnam until 1972 when it was totally replaced by the more advanced F4 Phantom.
This model was quite a challenge in some bits, but in the end I am very pleased with how it turned out. The camouflage was hard to pull off in olive green, so I felt stickers would be the best option to fill in some nasty gaps. This might be a bit controvertial, but I think it looks fine. Instructions for this model will be available in due time! Thanks, -Bear
