The Trumpeter 1/48 F-100D kit recreates the Super Sabre wearing the Thunderbirds paint scheme, offering a historically grounded subject with engaging assembly work. The F-100D stands out as an early supersonic-capable fighter that later became a showpiece with the Thunderbirds demonstration team.
Panel lines and structural cues are well represented, allowing modellers to emphasise detail through paint and shading. Key features such as the extended vertical tail and wing fences are faithfully modelled for authenticity.
Once completed, the kit presents well on a stand or as part of a Cold War era grouping, drawing attention for its distinctive markings.
