Trumpeter 01648 1/72 F-100C Super Sabre: Tribute to Early Supersonic Flight

The F-100C Super Sabre earned its place in history as the USAF's first fighter to reach supersonic speed in level flight. Its first flight on May 25, 1953 and achievement of supersonic performance by October of that year signalled a new era in military aviation, and North American built 2,294 examples before production ended in 1959.

The Trumpeter 1/72 scale kit captures the F-100C in miniature, providing accurate proportions and a range of finely moulded parts. The assembly offers a satisfying build process and results in a display-worthy model for aviation collections.

Build Experience and Display Qualities

This kit suits modellers who enjoy classic jet subjects and detailed assembly. The finished model showcases period styling and technical character, making it a strong addition to any collection focused on Cold War jets and early supersonic aircraft.

The kit reflects the F-100C's main external features and proportions in 1/72 scale, with detailed surface lines and parts arranged for an authentic look once painted and decalled.
Due to the number of small components and the need for careful alignment, the kit is best suited to modelers with some prior plastic kit experience rather than absolute beginners.
Yes, standard acrylic or enamel hobby paints work well; pre-shade and thin coats help preserve the molded detail. Use fine brushes or an airbrush for the best finish.
