Modelpig Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 First post on this subject, finished before the 31 December deadline but its taken several days to get the pics in order. I did take some in-progress shots along the way, perhaps I can post those in the appropriate subject category in the near future. Trumpeter kit with some modifications to get it closer to what a Air National Guard bird looks like, as well as fixing some of the Trumpy issues. -Filled in lots of fuselage rivets with Mr. Surfacer...left the empenage rivets for detail effect under the Alclad "burnt titanium". -Added the UHF blade antenna and anti-collision light on the spine. -ILS antenna on the nose. -"315" did not get cycled through south east Asia, hence no RWR gear installed. -Extended the external fuel tanks to the later "long" style. -Shortened the main landing gear legs to the proper length, also used SHM F-100 wheels & tires...these two items fix the appropriate nose-to-tail attitude of the F-100 on the ground. -Turned a new pitot tube and set it under the nose in the correct location. -Eduard interior & color cockpit with waldron punched knobs to provide some realistic relief. -Master Details F-102 style exhaust. -A few other things that I'll recall later... Enjoy, and Happy New Year to all. Thanks for looking. Patrick Seversky, F`s are my favs, Lenny320 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Looks great! Unfortunately it doesn't qualify for the Group Build, as entrants need to be less than 25% done at the time of starting the thread, and the build needs to be shown as you go along.
