F-100F Super Sabre Fighter 1/72 Trumpeter

The F-100 was the USAF first supersonic fighter. It made its initial flight on May 25, 1953, and the first production aircraft was completed in October 1953. The Super Sabre became the first fighter to attain level flight supersonic speed, doing so during its maiden flight. The F-100 became operational in September 1954. North American built 2,294 F-100s before production ended in 1959. The F-100F two-seat trainer entered service in 1958. It maintained mostly the same weapons and airframe upgrades as the F-100D, including increased wing and vertical tail area, additional electronic equipment, autopilot, provision for “Buddy” tanker refueling equipment, two 450 gallon external tanks, and inboard landing flaps.
