mick555 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 hi, well, after searching for many months (seriously!) i have given up trying and am going to ask a question. i have wanted to model this bird (or a bird in the same colours) for many years, and finally have the funds to buy a kit. but cannot find a 1/48 F-100D or french decals for one. anyone know anywhere i can get either or both? here's a pic of the bird in question.... also, what was the usual weapons loadout for one of these?? yo be honest, i have never seen an image of an armed french super sabre..

polybebber Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Try Spada Decals, they should have what your're looking for: Spada F-100 According to their website, this set is now available in 1/48 as well. Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick555 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 how do you purchase off that site? can't seem to work that out either! that is exactly what i am after, and i would love to do at least 2 french F-100's, so want this sheet! many thanks for such a quick reply!

polybebber Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Send them an email to their email address: Limitedcals@gmail.com and tell them sheet number, quantity, shipping address etc. They will get back to you by email with the total, usually within a day or two. You can pay them either with your CC or by Paypal. I've ordered several times and these guys are very reliable. HTH. Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squezzer Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Linky 2 french F100D on the sheet: Sharkmouth+camouflage from the 11th wing (Djibouti AB) and a silver one from the 3rd wing (Nancy or Reims AB, it depends on the time frame) Ok, it's Evil bay. But I immediately get the result by googling " f100 francais decal". You should try this too. Edited July 19, 2009 by squezzer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: well, now i blame my computer! still nothing?? In fact, I did not type the key words in the ebay search engine but in google, which gave me the link to the ebay page. May you try this way. One more thing I have to add: I got the same sheet but in 1/72, and it gave a good result. Edited July 19, 2009 by squezzer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick555 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thank's Hooter, PM sent! :lol: and after trying google with those words, it worked! :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick555 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) i shall soon be in posession of that kit thanks to Gerard. after finding out a brand name, i have done a few searches on it and it seems to be a pretty decent kit, so should build up into something quite nice and different as well. also scored a resin 2 seater conversion, so will need at least one more kit! and much more room to store boxes as well as finished kits. this hobby is crazy! oh, and can anyone help with loadouts of the hun in this time frame? i have read over and over again that they bombed alot of targets (sometimes "attacked" which could point to missile/rockets or just cannons?) i really want to be pretty spot on as far as accuracy goes with this build, as it has been on my ever growing wish list for a VERY long time, and have only gotten more fond of it as i stare at this picture...
