hooter Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi guys, Here is my recently finished F-100D Super Sabre, which was assigned to the 20th. TFW in the 1960's.. here is a list of adds. and mods. I made to thr model : New wheels of the correct diameter Replacement pitot probe with scratch built mounting ( The kit one looked more like a drain pipe ! ) AMS resin ejection seat Eduard instrument panels Video Aviation MN 1 practice bomb carrier Decals were a mix of Eagle Strike, Campro and kit decals ( The wing badge was home made, as the one on the sheet was not really correct ) All comments ( good or bad ) gratefully accepted 🙂 Hobby Photo Host- F-100D 20th.

hooter Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Many thanks for your kind comments . . . It's much appreciated. This is probably my favourite model, and one of my favourite airplanes, along with the F-104 Starfighter. I do have a soft spot for the F-100, as I live not far from the 20th. TFW's former home at Wethersfield. and spent many a day during the school holidays at the end of the runway watching their activities. They would stop about 200yards from us while doing their last minute checks before turning on to the runway ( After a wave from us ) and then blasting off down the runway . . . happy days. Sadly, that's all gone now, but this model brings back happy memories of younger days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think a lot of us can relate to that joy. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I watched the F-100 fly as well. As a young fella when my dad was stationed at Edwards. Lets see...200 yards and then light the burner to go...so you probably inhaled some good JP-4 exhaust fumes and loved every breath! Great job on your F-100 too! Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
