Trumpeter 02822 1/48 F-100D Thunderbirds Livery Scale Kit  [TP02822]

Trumpeter 1/48 F-100D Thunderbirds Scheme Overview

The Trumpeter 1/48 scale F-100D, finished in the famous Thunderbirds livery, combines historical context with a satisfying build challenge. The F-100D earned a place in history as one of the early USAF fighters to reach supersonic speed in level flight, and the Thunderbirds display team highlighted its presence with striking aerobatic routines.

Build Notes and Display Quality

This kit reproduces the F-100D's streamlined profile and the Thunderbirds marksmanship with well-moulded parts and clear instructions. Builders can assemble details like the larger vertical tail and wing fences while keeping the Super Sabre's aerodynamic lines in scale form.

As a display model, the vibrant Thunderbirds scheme makes this kit stand out in a collection, whether it is shown on its own stand or grouped with other Cold War era types.
