Thank you! Indeed, the original seats were just too basic. In hindsight, I might have added some more other cockpit detail, but it least it looks acceptable at an arm's length distance.
Encore une magnifique réalisation. le Super Sabre est le plus beau (et de loin!) chasseur des "Century fighters". Ce kit a une nouvelle fois été réalisé de façon magistrale. C'est toujours avec un très grand plaisir que je regarde vos vidéos! Amitiés, Stéphane.
This is the Esci under a different label. It is still sold by Italeri at a typically high price for a 45 year old mould. As this video proves, it is a very nice model.
As stated by @lllordllloyd, it is indeed the same as the ESCI kit. The Italeri kit however is based on the same moulds and very similar, but not exactly 100% the same. As for the price; this one came from a second-hand site for €10,-. Not a bad deal imho!.
Slick paint job!
This one deserves a lot more than 33 up votes...
Thank you very much for your appreciation 🙏
Stunning result as always!! The resin seats make a huge difference
Thank you!

Ooooh, that burnt paint effect is very tasty! Great jet!
Thanks!
As stated in the vid it was done with soft-pastel powder and not with an airbrush. My airbrush-handling still lacks that level of subtlety..
@KitKabinet whatever gets the job done!

Merci !
L'Armée de l'Air utilisait aussi des F-100. J'ai vu des photos d'un avion très coloré avec une bouche de requin.
@KitKabinet Ces F100 étaient basés à Djibouti. Ils furent remplacés tardivement par des Mirage 3.😊
Great job , not much choice in 1/72 supersabres , i remember esci had a decent one , i have a frog one in stash wich is the hasegawa tool.
