This 1/48 scale model is a conversion of an old 1980 Monogram F-100D kit. It took me just over 38 hours to build, modify, and paint this model. Painting the titanium burner can section was a special challenge, since the heat-induced discoloration varies from aircraft to aircraft. For example, if the burner can section was cleaned just prior to its recent flight, the blue heat discoloration tends to be much more vivid and the burner can skin panels tend to be much lighter.
