F-100 D finished in the markings of Lakenheath 'Panthers'

 

And the pilot wears a Bulltproff moustache, so I assume is based on SEA, but is that scheme realistic?

Ha! That's my best friend's F-100D Sabre he did! His name on CA is "Moofles." He does lots of plastic models and things, did you get those pics on "Britmodeller.com"? He's a member on there. Coo!

Hello all, yes that model is mine, i live in mildenhall and my father watched the F-100s fly for many years in that scheme, so its as accurate as i can make it, you may notice many colour photos of Lakenheath F-100s on the net with a darker tone of green almost a slate green, all i can put it down to is in mildenhall and lakenheath rains alot and its somewhat overcast a fair bit of the time so this may be reflected in the photos. The only really questionable thing is the loadout as i am unsure wheter lakenheath F-100s ever carried that loadout, but it looks rather good.

Cheers for the intrest.

 

also even though its the wrong unit, i based some of the colour call outs from this photo as it shows a more used and weathered approach, again the amount of reseach i put into the aircraft means that im am very confidant in the final paintscheme.

Great, lots of fun using aftermarket stuff or extra's from other models. Gives your model the personal touch ... :good: Jordy, are you still active in kit building ? The shop in Aalsmeer is still alive & kicking !!!!

 

Houdoe,
