1/48 Monogram F-100D

Hi modellers,
 I´d like to show you my first attempt at rescribing.  This build is oob, except the TERs and six piece Mk.82 (they are from Gawa´s weapons set).  As many of you know, this is the old Monogram kit.  It means, great detail, but not all details are as crisp as we would like.  Also the fit is a bit worse, but no tragedy.
The only big problem I had was with the decals.  I was resolved to build my Hun in SEA camo, so I used the kit decal sheet.  But this sheet was very old, and almost without adhesive.  I had to apply thinned Herkules cement on the bottom side of each decal, to make them more adhesive.  It´s interesting, that on the market you might find many decal sheets for the F-100 in NMF, but none for the SEA camo (I´m talking about 1:48 scale, of course).  The Hun was freehand airbrushed with Gunze paints.

That´s all, I hope you like it. 

Greetings from Czech Republic
