Trumpeter 01648 1/72 F-100C Super Sabre: A Miniature of a Pioneering Jet

The F-100C Super Sabre stands out as the USAF's initial supersonic fighter, first flown on May 25, 1953 and reaching supersonic speed in level flight by October that same year. It entered service by September 1954, with North American producing 2,294 aircraft before production ended in 1959.

The Trumpeter 1/72 kit recreates the F-100C with carefully proportioned components and a detailed parts set. It delivers an absorbing modelling project and a convincing replica for display cases and dioramas.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit
