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-25-NA, 55-3669, 182 TFS/TX ANG

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!
