A civvy serialed Super Sabre I hear you say?

Who remembers these from the 1980's? Best aircraft ever to carry civvy serials :biggrin:

Heres the real thing.........

Trumpeter's 1/48 F-100F as an ex-Danish TF-100F with Flight Systems Inc as seen at RAF Binbrook 1986. A bit of scratch building to create the nose blister, added resin seats because the Danes used the MB Mk5 (unlike other 100 users) and I had the decals made for me.

Not every modellers cup of tea I know, but one of my favourites from the Cold War so I just had to build her!

Very nice that, one of those made me jump out of my skin when kicking in the afterburner was funny to my mate at the time.

As ugly as the nose blister is... What an excellent build you did! :clap: Perfectly painted white finish.

Having seen this in the flesh at RIAT, i think its refreshing to see a different slant on a classic fast jet!
