Gallery Article by Amen on Sept 13 2013

 

 

Model finished end of April 2013.

I did the 58-1226, the first F-100F Wild weasel with SAM kill.  It has custom decal for the serials, fiber optics on the cockpit and a functional warning light on the fuselage.

Used Gunze and Tamyia acrylics paints,  Model Master metalizers and their matt & satin acrylic varnish.  Tamiya gloss cote.  Oil washes for model, Citadel washes for cockpit and pilots.

I did some scratch building for the antennas and the tail.
