Hello fellow modelers!
This is my F-100D super Sabre from Chinese manufacturer Trumpeter. High was my expectation before I've opened the box, huge was my
disappointment after that,
Indeed, even if the kit had a very good received panel lines, is suffered a big inaccuracy, the air intake is much more too flat,
Moreover the cockpit and the ejection seat are very simplified, it's the same
for the gear doors and so on and so on...

But as I'm a big fan of the « Hun », I decided to correct the air intake problem with a Renaissance resin kit and
to improve details level I used an AIRES resin kit to replace the original cockpit.
The markings are those a French Air Force Super Sabre based at Djibouti in 1978.
