I don't know if anyone tried the new F-100 yet? I know, no NZ connection, but a great model, and fun to paint too:
a dirty Dane:
a bigmouthed Frenchie:
and a flashy American:
more to come, I'm sure... do you want a kiwi version?

No, this aircraft is not on the Agenda for me. She was a really bad aircraft with bad habbits and a lot of pilots died in this aircraft. She was underpowered, less manoverable and had less climbing speed then any other aircraft of the first Mach 1+Aircraft , like the Dassault Super Mystere (France) or the Mikojan and Gurevich MiG 19S (USSR) and relegated to fighter-Bomber as the MDD F-4C/D "Phantom II" to came in, a far better aircraft. She was not a good fighter. Danish pilots called them "Notso".
