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.
