Fantastic Replica of a great plane! I hope to build one soon. Was the kit pretty trouble free? Take care.

Fabrizio, beautiful work on a well-worn Hun! F-100 is one of my favorites; two family friends flew them and although I did not get to pick their brains, I recall one story from Wheelus AFB; my dentist flew them (and F-4) and I got stories from him. Your Hun is the F-100 in my mind when the subject comes up!

Thanks JPTRR! Since i was child, i'm fascinated by hun. I' ve seen it for the first time when i was child, in Italian air force museum. There was a olive green danish hun (d version)in outdoor exposition. Today, i think, this plane is a gate guardian in Aviano AFB, Italy...naturally repainted with USAF insignas..

That's a well deserved win Fabrizio. That's been my favorite jet since I was a little kid. I grew up in Boston near the airport. There was a squadron of them flew daily and when not in school I was able to watch them fly in formation.
