Michi has always admired those shiny polished silver jets from the early days. With the recent game of Target locked on it was clear that the skies over Vietnam were the perfect theater to field some more of those to fly aside the Starfighters. Here comes the famous F-100 Super Sabre!
The plane was 3D-printed by Doc in 285th scale from a downloadable file with a few own enhancements like the refuelling probe and additional fuel tanks done by himself.
The Super Sabre does not come alone: Michi was also given an extraordinary fighter bomber as well. The aircraft carrier based A-7 Corsair is equipped with another of Doc's very own loadouts to enhance it's range of flight (although only the inner and outer pylons allowed external fuel tanks to be refueled in flight, but not the center ones). The excellent model is painted in Navy livery from the first deployment aboard USS Ranger in Vietnam.
Both single-engine aircraft are in the same scale, but the photos show the much bulkier appearance of the supersonic F-100 in comparison with the subsonic A-7. Although they were different generations of jet fighters they flew at the same time over Vietnam fulfilling their designated roles.
