scvrobeson Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Forgive the ignorance, is this just a new version of the older F-100 kit, with all of the issues carried over? Or is this a new design? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Same core kit with a new tail. But at least we have an F-100C, -D and -F. F: https://www.1999.co.jp/image/10702868/30/1 I could live very happily with the kits' Trumpeterness if we got a brace of Sixes and Voodoos.

I would prefer as well a Trumpeter kit with its idiosyncrasies rather than no kit at all! firefly7, LSP_K2, Scotsman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 If you can snag a KH F-86D seat, modify it by dropping the armrest/firing handles. It would go a long way to enhance the C cockpit.

Scotsman Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I was looking at the C pics , and my wife spotted the pic below, and nudged me, "Are those marking in the kit", "Yes" I replied, "Well your getting that one aren't you" Not wishing to disrupt domestic harmony , I mumbled "Yes dear" Looks like I have a F-100C in my future PS I love my wife! I also love the fact that she's forgotten I have an unfinished 48th scale C in these markings in in the loft !

Mr.T Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 So this one has the same nose and tail inaccuracies as the 1/48 F-100C if I see and understood correctly and possibly issues with the wings? Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Well technically it has the same issues as the 1/32 D & F so the nose in hosed and the back end , a little "out" but so you pay your money , or not depending on how invested you are in accuracy. Since the C is for my wife , and her love of multi coloured aircraft I can live with the issues other modellers I'm sure have different opinions Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Actually the positive aspect is the fact all the correction sets for the D can be used on a C (as on the F). The only partial exception being the cockpit. The negative aspect is the fact they could have corrected the most obvious errors for long. However who else will ever release a large scale C Supersabre? Trumpeter can be frustrating but at least they go on releasing interesting topics (albeit with a slower pace).

As far as I can tell, the only issue with the wings is they are too thin. This, combined with the too-tall main gear tires, causes the model to sit almost level, instead of with the F-100's characteristic nose-up attitude. It's easily fixed by replacing the kit wheels with resin replacements (I found Renaissance's to just be copies of the kit wheels) and cutting ~3 mm from the tops of the struts for the 1/32 kits.

Tony T Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The wing wheel wells are moulded into the lower wing half. I don't know if the Aires wells enhance the kit much or just cause extra work... https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AIRE2072 The key thing that bothers me is the too-long F canopy hood. I'm guessing sawing off 5-6mm or so from the rear of the hood, fixing that to the fuselage spine, and re-engraving the rear of the hood would work. Sawing the MLG legs down 3mm as noted by Ben, above, replacing the nose inlet and extending the wing drop tanks with plugs pretty much takes care of all offending items. Quinta studio cockpit panels would probably look better than the very flat Eduard etch, but the cost of the Hun can spiral quickly. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
