Trumpeter 01648 1/72 F-100C Super Sabre: Remembering a Supersonic Milestone

The F-100C Super Sabre is notable as the USAF's first fighter to achieve sustained supersonic flight, with its maiden sortie on May 25, 1953 and supersonic performance recorded by October that year. It entered service in September 1954 and North American produced 2,294 units before production ceased in 1959.

Trumpeter's 1/72 kit reproduces the F-100C with accurate scale dimensions and a comprehensive set of parts. The build encourages careful assembly and results in a faithful scale model ideal for display or inclusion in Cold War era collections.

Modelling Notes and Display Potential

This kit appeals to modellers who like classic jet platforms and enjoy detailing work. With neat panel definition and a full decal set, it lends itself to weathering and finishing techniques that bring out the aircrafts character.

Beginners can try it, but the number of small parts and alignment requirements mean that some prior kit experience will help achieve a clean result.

Assembly requires adhesive; the parts are not designed as snap-fit. Use appropriate plastic model cement for secure joins.
