model_madness Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've been on a modelling hiatus for last 2 months so this build has stood still since then. Yesterday i decided bugger that, im gonna finish it in one foul swoop. 12 hours later, almost solid non-stop, here's the result. Went to bed at 2am, woke up feeling like i'd been run over by a bus 99% complete except for pitot tube and refueling probe. Im happy with it, prob my best build to date IMO. As for the kit, considering its age (1980 ), it went together nicely, good detail esp the in wheel wells. Except for the rear fuselage section fit and a few seams i was impressed. Any critiques, comments welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Migrant Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 That's a nice looking F-100, I especially like the work you've done in the cockpit; very sharp looking. As someone else has commented, choosing a NM finish is a brave step and you've achieved a very smooth result. Since you've asked for critiques, I hope you won't mind me commenting on the seam work on your model. As I'm sure you know natural metal finishes are the worst for showing up flaws, and there are some prominent join marks on the rear fuselage (aft of the wing trailing edge), on the drop tanks and on the missiles. They're a pain to eliminate but they'll significantly improve the look of your model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) A very nice Hun! Me likes! Actually, me likes all Hun models! I normally don't build 48 in terms of jets, but I guess I'll make an exception with the Century jets. wait, that's BMF???? I guess BMF can mean both "Bare-Metal Foil" and "bare metal finish".

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Very nice looking Super Sabre. Like the finish and the two missiles are a nice touch. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
