1:32 F-100C PART II

The real subject

The North American F-100 Super Sabre was an American supersonic combat aircraft of the 1950s, the first production fighter of its country able to pass the speed of sound in level flight. The F-100C form moved the type from the pure fighter role toward attacks on ground targets: it received a wing able to carry armament and the equipment for refueling in flight, which lengthened its reach markedly.

What the set contains

An accessory set of the Big Ed line for a model of the F-100C in 1:32 scale, designated as part two. Part one is sold separately under its own number, so the two parts follow on from each other and can also be obtained one at a time. The breakdown of the parts and their placing on the model are given in the manufacturer's instructions; a model on its own will not come out of the set.

Building tips

Go through the whole accessory set according to the instructions before you start the build and sort the parts out by which stage they belong to. A number of them are aimed at inner spaces that you will no longer reach once the fuselage is glued, so a part discovered too late means taking the build apart. Try every sub-assembly dry before you reach for the glue. Wash and degrease the parts before painting and let them dry completely, because on a greasy surface the paint holds badly and rubs off during the build itself.
