Here she is ... the Hun !!!

I wonder when if (or when) Trumpeter is going to start looking at releasing these beauts in 1/48. If they did the F-105 it would rock, the F-100 even more so!

It is also obvious that the person that was responsible for assembling the model did not follow instructions.  It looks good and I was really appreciating the details and I noticed that the 20mm cannon are installed backwards with the barrel end facing aft.  Ooooops....

I would really like to see someone do a decent injection molded F-100F in 1/48th scale or for that matter in 1/32nd scale.  The resin conversion is far too expensive and the vacu-formed conversion is a PITA.

Hill 2 scheme, AIM-9M missiles inboard, a GPS dome on the spine, and possibly a pair of small JDAM's outboard of the tanks...

Overall Barley gray, or barley gray with dark camo gray top; low-vis aussie roundels, ASRAAM missiles. Too bad it doesn't have the space for a modern radar, unless you're doing leading-edge phased arrays like on the B-2, or it'd need some Meteors too.

Smiley roundels, NMF or MOD-Eagle colors (can't decide), a *ridiculous* amount of kill insignia of all kinds (everything from red stars to stars-and-bars - in multiples!), covering the entire side of the forward fuselage from intake to wing root, maybe further... Must be displayed with pilot figure in the process of adding more kill marks.

Thunderbirds scheme (they never flew the hun, IIRC).

Big stinger tailhook and folded wings, TPS scheme, and Marines markings. Or French!

NMF with red stars and Atoll missiles.

Israeli desert scheme, Star of David roundel, Python missiles

Stub wings, overal red with Budweiser and other sponsor logos, as jet powered dragracer...

Regarding the radar, there were some pics a while back in Wings/AIrpower of an improved radar installation that was tested on the F-100.  Only major differences was the radome itself.  If you updated by using some of the radar sets fitted to the "small-nosed" Pakistani F-7s, you probably could fit it without problem.

Wasn't one tested/flown with a small thimble radome above the intake?

Yes, an F-100F would be fantastic!  Don't know why, but I like the two-seater version of nearly any plane I've ever seen more than the single-seater (with the possible exception of the Spitfire and MiG-25).

Is there any sign on Trumpeter's 1:32 test-shot that the molds have accomodated this potential?  I'm hopeful they will scale down their master pattern for 1:48 at some point.

educate instead of humiliate.

Huh?
