hooter Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Here are some photos of my Monogram 1/48 F-100D in the markings of the 20th.TFW. This is one of my favourite models, as I made the small stencilling and unit flash and wing emblem myself, as there were not any accurate decals available at the time. comparing this kit with the new Trumpeter model I think the Monogram kit is the more accurate, although I've only seen the Trumpeter kit in photos. I'd be interested to hear what other modellers think. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg185/P...ls/F-100D-1.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg185/P...ls/F-100D-2.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg185/P...ls/F-100D-3.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg185/P...ls/F-100D-4.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Hi Richard, As far as I can recall I used Xtracolor for the rear end, but I'm not sure about the aluminium colour . . .I built this model about ten years ago so the old memory fails me sometimes! I found the Xtracolor with various shades of brown and copper, coupled with pastels for shading gave me the desired effect on the rear fuselage. When the F-100's of the 20th. TFW were based at Wethersfield the rear panels had not dis-coloured to the extent seen on later F-100's, and that's how I remember them when I watched from the perimeter fence during school holidays. . .Ah . .Happy days!
