Kit Review: Trumpeter 1/72 F-100F Super Sabre
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2014 10:20 pm
The tooling of this kit is from 2009 and this release is from 2010. The box comes absolutely packed with plastic. The majority of the sprues comes separatly packed. There is a total of 7 sprues with the ejection seats on their own sprues.
Bought this kit for: £10.56 / €13.27 / $17.13 + shipping charges from http://www.creativemodels.co.uk
The measurements
Colorful markings
Instruction sheet
An example of the instructions
Decals for 3 options
Im not a fan of Trumpeter decals but these actually looks good. However there is a patchy surface of these, me no like
.
More decals
Clear parts. Look really good.
Very little magnifying effect.
Sprue-shots:
Recessed details
Small details for the insides.
pylons
Probably wheel bays. Good looking details.
Really nice OOB ejection seats.
I also want to show that eduard make these additions for this kit. THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE KIT
Conclusion:
+ Nice surface detail
+ Superb ejection seats
+ Good detail in wheel bays
+ Markings in color
+ Good looking clear parts
+ Option of doing either camo or metal finish
+ Low price for the amount of plastic in the box
- Tiny amount of flash on small parts
- Decals looks spotty
- Alot of parts, might be over complicated
? Decals looks better than other Trumpeter kits
Recommendation: Looks like this will build up to a real nice model and I really look forward to trying it out. Add a little bit of detail to the cockpit and that will look stunning. Nice if you want the option to do either camo or metal finish. For the low price, i would definetly recommend it.
