C&H F-100F Sabre conversion set query


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I think I read somewhere that the C&H 1/48 F-100F Super Sabre conversion set has 2 or 3 versions?  Like, 1st generation, 2nd generation etc? I believe the earlier versions were inaccurate with the fuselage & canopy being longer than it should be? Later boxings were corrected, if I remember correctly.

 

Anyone know which boxing is the accurate one?  How about this one?

It’s hard to tell by the box. I don’t think that ever changed. The first generation of the conversion was too long and the canopy wasn’t quite right. The fuselage was pinched in a little at the guns, IIRC. They corrected all that with the second generation, but I thought the canopy still wasn’t quite as good as the Fox 3 Studios and War Eagle conversions. I can’t remember what changes they made with the third generation. I never saw one.
