Probably a stupid question....but has anyone built this kit? How is it? Typical Monogram?

Looking for a different set of decals for it....I know there must be some aftermarket decals for it.....just wondering where the best place to look is? I am just not that crazy about the decals that came with it....its the reissued kit that Monogram came out with a few months ago.....looking for the reissued F-105 now. I would like to do a metalizer finish, but would also like to do a South Asian Scheme as well....may have to go buy another!!!

With all the open panels....it just screams for a dio.....although I think I would lay out the weapons a bit different. 2 Bullpup, and 2 500lb bombs? Come on....it can haul more trash than that!!!!

Like I needed to buy another kit....but it was a computer game that did it too me. Strike Fighters.....got it for my computer a couple of weeks ago.....it has the F-100, F-104, 3 varients of the A-4, and 4 of the F-4......I have a Monogram Hi tech Series of a F-4C/D Phantom in the basement.....been itching to dig it out as well. The game is pretty good...the aircraft are modeled great....and its very modable....I have downloaded a Canadian CF-104 as well as the F-105 Thunderchief......always like the F-105!!!!

I built the F-100.Nice kit.The only problems I had was the wings and gear doors.I built mine with gear up and you need to brace the doors with a piece of sprure or else they will cave in.The wings have some fit problems and I put some putty in there to fill them up.I bought another one and I am looking for a A-M cockpit to put in it.The factory cokcpit is actually pretty good for 1/48 but to get the look you need a aftermarket one.

There is an article in this month FSM about stretching this kit into a two seater. F100 F. The April issue. Good article.

Yeah...I have that FSM....good article!!! Kind of inspired me to grab this one....along with this PC game I have!!!

MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS KIT WAS TO FIT WINGS INTO HALF UPPER AND LOWER FUSELAGE AND THE REAR OF FUSELAGE MOLDED WITH THE EXHAUST NOZZLE.
THE REST WAS PRETTY GOOD .
I`M WAITING FOR THE 1/32SCALE TRUMPETER KIT OR MAYBE HASEGAWA WILL CONTINUE HIS CENTURY FIGHTERS SERIES.
CHEERS BAT-21

Viper if you can find an old issue of FSM from 1988 they had an article on how to super detail the f-100 you should look for it. stug
