CAM Pro Series 1/32
F-100D Super Sabre Indiana ANG

You can see from the variety of releases in their Pro Series, the new CAM has been keeping a steady pace in producing quality markings for scale modelers. This one is definitely another nice release!

This release provides one of the specific airframe markings designed for the Trumpeter 1/32 F-100D Super Sabre. The sheet provides the national markings and distinctive unit markings for one example:

• F-100D-65-NA, 56-2979, 113 TFS/IN ANG

This particular aircraft wore the commemorative nose art for the City of Terre Haute, Indiana as well as the red/white/blue tail cap. Do NOT apply the FE627 number on the tail section unless you're representing this aircraft as it appeared in AMARC (the boneyard) as these numbers were applied when the aircraft was retired into storage.

Note the lower price. With a subject as large as the Trumpeter 1/32 Hun, CAM could have done the usual thing with multiple subjects at a higher retail price, or let you choose the one you want to build with a lower price. Maintenance stencils are available on a separate release reviewed here.

One note to consider when using these markings - check your references as many of the ANG aircraft had been modified with the afterburner from the F-102 Delta Dagger to improve the reliability of the afterburner of the J57's in the F-100. The Trumpeter kit does not include the F-102 A/B nozzle and you may need to wait for an aftermarket nozzle or use the kit nozzle until an alternative is available (just like the full-scale aircraft).

These markings look good and are perfect for those who want to build a distinctive camouflaged airframe. Check your references or use ours - www.f-100.org.

This set is definitely recommended!
