Here is the AMT/ERTL 1/72 scale, North American F-100F Super Sabre. I built it with two drop tanks and two Bullpup air to ground missiles. I hope you enjoy looking. Russell










P.S. Had one thing happen, using Vallejo aluminum paint on this model. Used Model Master Acryl gloss and flat coat too. When a drop of flat coat got onto the model; I wiped it off and the paint came with it!! Yikes. Never had that happen before with any gloss/flat coat in fifteen years.

It looks nice. Two completed jets is pretty good. I'll actually finish one someday.

Thanks Russ, I normally build wingy things with propellers on them! WWII stuff especially; but every now and then it is nice to take a break from the ordinary and do something different. Thanks for the kind words. Russell

It helps if you finish putting the landing gear covers on! LOL Russell

Good job, Russell. And quick, too. I've never built a jet. Seems to me they would be a modelling block elixir; cleaner than the prop jobs with less fiddely parts.
