This is Italeri's 1/72 F-100D.
I built it out of the box with no after market parts. I like to build kits
as they come. This is my first submission to ARC, after seeing so many
great models on this site I wanted to make a contribution. This was not a
bad kit for it's price about half the price of Trumpeters. The fit was not
bad and it does have recessed panel lines. The decals are from the kit and
went on very good. You get four versions two U.S.A.F and two French Air
Force. This is the 481 TFS 27 TFW at Ton Son Nhut AB South Vietnam 1966.

This is the first natural metal
aircraft that I've tried. It is painted with Tamiya XF-16 with some panels
painted different shades. The only problem I really had was with the
canopy. But over all an enjoyable build.
Hope you like it and hope to
submit more in the future.
