1/48 Trumpeter F-100C

This is my latest weekend-project: The Trumpy F-100C. Build OOB, supported by some colored Tamiya-Tape for the seatbelts and the canopy frame. I used Alclad for the metallic parts and Vallejo Model-Air for the rest of the model. Weathering was done by oil colours, sealed by semigloss varnish. The cockpit details are from the kit decals, but honestly: I think they are a bit too colorful.

The fit of the kit is absolutely great, I only had to use some filler on the (much too flat) intake and on the underside of the airframe.

Beside all the released shape issues it looks like a hun to me.
