I also plan on building a YF-100. For a Century Series Park diorama.

I'd suggest back-dating the Italeri F-100C. I've since discovered it's a much better kit.

Calvin Gifford
I was just going to use the wings, tail & fin from the Trumpy kit 🙂 Yeah, I know it's fuselage is unusable.

Andy Halper 作者
Oh! Right. I was thinking the F-100C was an Italeri kit as well. Sorry. I confused it with the Italeri F-100D (I have both). Haven't opened the Trumpeter kit yet.

Calvin Gifford
The Trumpeter kit fuselage is about a quarter inch too long and misshapened 🙁 Yep, Trumppy sure goofed that kit up!

The PM Model wing geometry seems all wrong (I recall thinking 'How could they bollix that up so much?'). And it's otherwise quite primitive.

Calvin Gifford
Well shoot!! I thought the boxtop was a photo of the Trumpeter F-100C!! LOL Small pic and I have been using my Kindle Keyboard to access the site lately! Sorry about that!

Now you know another one to avoid! :]

Calvin Gifford
LOL OK - I only have a couple of their kits in the stash!
