The F-100D IN THUN perfectly reflects the iconic machine that, during the Cold War, became a symbol of the transition of the American Air Force to supersonic aircraft, making it a great addition both for the collection of an experienced modeler and for the ambitious hobbyist.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America and NATO allies\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold War (1954–1972, in the USAF until the early 1970s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic (injection molded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic parts, decals, detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/5 (intermediate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eHistorical background of the F-100D Super Sabre:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    The F-100D Super Sabre was one of the first American supersonic fighter jets, and the \"D\" version expanded combat capabilities by adapting it for low-level bombing, equipping it with advanced avionics, and further improving aerodynamics. F-100D aircraft were widely used during the Cold War, primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF), but also transferred to allies (e.g., France, Turkey, Taiwan). They served, among others, during the Berlin Crisis, the Vietnam War, and conflicts in the Middle East.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eModel construction and features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    The Trumpeter 02822 model is designed with great attention to detail, avoiding the simplifications typical of older kits. Fuselage, wing and cockpit detail parts accurately replicate authentic panels, panel lines, and armament of the F-100D. The kit consists of precisely made plastic parts—smooth, free from excess material, ready for painting and easy assembly. Decals allow for replication of the original paint schemes and the markings of military aircraft from that era.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eRecommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Trumpeter 02822 F-100D is recommended for intermediate modelers who expect realistic detail and an authentic building challenge. It’s an ideal choice for collections of Cold War-era jet models and looks excellent on a diorama or a collector’s shelf. The kit does not include glue or paints—these modeling accessories must be purchased separately.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54719790219598,"sku":"TRUM02822","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/b376e110e2cbd0bf3c29490c91b65569.jpg?v=1755481502","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.com\/products\/4722-trumpeter-02822-f-100d-in-thun-148","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
