Ha ha love Cid. Looks a great kit Tony, look forward to seeing it come together.

Loved Cid and love the look if the kit mate.

[Lee]

Looks ace. You going to do the camp scheme on the box?

[DC87]

Looks very nice

well done Cid - keep up the good work Cyberman

[Tonygol]

Will be doing the paint as per the box art.

[longlance67]

[DC87]

Will be doing the paint as per the box art.

Very nice choice - should be a stunner, can't wait to see you weather the exposed metal at the rear.

I wait in much anticipation

[Coen]

I freaking love Cid...
This will be a very cool build to watch.
I'm interested how you handle that rear section too.

[T3hGuppy]

Nice one this will look great in that paint scheme.

[Tonygol]

I freaking love Cid...

I'm interested how you handle that rear section too.

The rear section I am having a good think over. May have to practice on another kit.

[Coen]

Yeah... I'm at a loss as to how to do that one myself. I can't really tell much from the pic and I don't know enough about aircraft to be much help technically.
One of the fellas here must have some ideas though.

[Nige201980]

Did Paul manage to help with the canopy mate what's his solution if he did?

[Paul]

If by the rear section, you guys mean the metallic finish to the engine, I would use white tack worms, rolled up and placed in pisition

[bullgill67]

awesome - good luck Tony

Nice choice Tony!!!

[UKscalemodeller]

I had a 1/72 super as a lad, I always though it was a little overlooked by model companies.

Great to see one here.

[Tonygol]

Looking at buying the 1/48 version soon.

[Tonygol]

Started building the F-100F tonight. First job was to clean up the main fuselage components. One half had a bad mould line running the whole length of it. A light sanding took most of it away. Filled the sink marks in the cockpit area.


Cid checking the sanding.

Built up the rear engine nozzle.

Cid looking hard at the nozzle.

Cockpit built up and ejector seats placed in cockpit. Will dry fit all parts before priming and painting.

Dry fitting cockpit into fuselage. May need a little tweaking in places.


Primer on tomorrow maybe.

Happy modelling from Tony and Cid.

[ModelingMatt]

Seats look pretty good for kit seats especially being 1/72. Might have to put this kit on my to get list.

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

very nice work, love seeing this kit come together!

[Coen]

I'd have to agree... it's a surprising level of detail for that scale.
Bonus!!
Nice find Sid... err Tony.

[good2us1]

looks like she's coming along good, Cid doing a good job!!! LOL

[Tonygol]

I hope to get some primer on the cockpit and seats tonight. Been a little busy over the weekend making costumes for a Star Wars event.

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

Nice wip!
Looking forward to see more!

My regards to Sid

[Tonygol]

Work carried out so far.

[Paul]

Looking good Tony

[Coen]

Really nice Tony, where's Sid?
Are those decals or hand paint?
They look pretty cool.

[Tonygol]

Decals as supplied for the kit. Cid was on vacation for a few days. The next part is a little tricky so there may be some rude words spoken.

[Tonygol]

Well cockpit is nearly done. I hope it aligns up when the fuselage goes together.

[Rob]

Lovely work Tony - good luck with the alignment

[Coen]

Yeah, Good luck Toni.
She looks great dude. I hope that there's no trouble.

[Lee]

Nice pit Tony

[Tonygol]

Yeah, Good luck Toni.
She looks great dude. I hope that there's no trouble.

Nothing a hammer and chisel wont fix.

[Coen]

Well let's hope that won't be necessary eh?
haha

[Tonygol]

Some sanding on the joints, may need to re-scribe a few. All fun.
