F-100D Super Sabre

I hear you on the parts count. Have you seen the work I’ve done on “Red hand’s” B-17F Luscious Lady?

Will continue to follow your progress Brother.

I think I am going to do a Liberator soon and loose my mind on it.
My grandfather was a waist gunner on Libs over Europe.

@HGBARNES . I have to apologize for my ignorance with aircraft and the threads on here for them.
I’m not normally a aircraft builder. Only ever built a few wingy thingies before .
Normally armor and scratch dio work is what I do.

If you want to see insanity, here’s 10 years of it. Full interior (done by Brian), scratched wheel bays including the tail wheel, scratched ball turret interior with up 200 parts, full rivet and panel lines, hand made flush windows and aftermarket improved engines and props. Worth a look.

No apology necessary, who has the time?

I needed to play with some paint.
This is one of the wing tanks.
The are being weathered a tad heavier than the rest of the bird .
Having problems with lighting today will get better pics soon.
