I have it also , excellent kit , only needs an rf variant now
This review has tempted me into purchasing this, along with the feature in this months Airfix Model World mag..👍
I've since built this kit and have to report that the decals tear very easily 😢
Hi Peter, Cool model. The 100th like is mine. Have a great day.
Thanks Daniel! I was loving your video of the show in Hungary, some amazing models. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Thank you so much.
Richard Bach`s book `Stranger to the ground` recalls his experiences as an F84F pilot in Europe during the cold war. A great read. One of my favorite aircraft.
Couldn't watch when it went live but watching now...built 2 of their kits and had no issue with them
Peter.. Century Jets begin with the F100. The "tanks/nukes" in the Box art are indeed tanks. The nuclear bomb Mk7 that these carried was about half the length of those things, and a fair bit fatter. I think the reference is talking about the fact that the one spotted had the somewhat different Nuke capable pylons fitted. The kit looks like it has one nuke supplied with the nuke pylon that sweeps forward unlike the ones on the box that sweep rearwards. Pictures seem to show a tank on the stbd, with the nuke on the port. Nice detail on that kit though, regardless of the somewhat heavy panel lines. It looks as good as many 1/48 kits.
just ordered one £21.04 inc delivery
Nice review. This kit is an eye catcher. And here comes the twist! As SH cooperates with Eduard to some extent, the decals are printed by Eduard!
Not the new top-film variety, I trust
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-LabEduard did some tuning of their new decals after huge criticism. They increased the thickness of the film to its technology maximum. Yet many modellers in Czech Rep still complain longing for the Cartograph times. Others hate Cartograph... Anyway one uselfull tip: don´t put these decals in the warm water. Use cold water. It took me several kits before I get used to them. I newer peeled them. Too scared. Carrier film is not so much visible in the end.
BTW thank you for your attitude when not everything is "Highly recommended." Cheers from Czech Republic!
@@trevor851 We Drive a fantastic Czech (Skoda) car. 👍🏻
Yes...its right...the usaf didnt come into existance until 1947....i was at R.I.A.T 07 and 1 of the themes that year was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the usaf@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab
Not quite a "Century Series" jet as the first of those was the F100 Super Sabre.
The F-104 definitely wasn't a "donkey". It could be a mule however.
Waiting on review of new B-26.
Soon Dave…SOON! 👍🏻
Can’t wait! Thanks Peter!
Peter, I've never, ever seen you actually build a kit! Do you ever do so? If so, where are your videos showcasing your builds??
@@adamcotton1830 Search my channel there are dozens...
Those lines can be good for a nice primer coat,or mister surfacer,or if someone wants to try applying foil tape to replicate aluminum (aluminum) skin .
True...it's not a deal-breaker. 👍🏻
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Labawesome review Peter.. looking forward to the Matchbox Panther review.
Shame about the hatches they do look a bit too deep but l don't think it will put people off because the rest is lovely and the decals very nice l think once made, painted and with decals on you will not see the deep panel lining and it was only in a couple of places👍
Good on you Pete.
Now you normally complain the instructions don’t have enough information?
Now it’s these instructions have To Much information?
Which one is it 🤷♂️
But still fun to watch 👍
But they were badly written ...😜
Can't say heard of Special Hobby😱😱
WHAAAAAAAT ??? (Czech Republic) You are in for a treat...Make Eduard look like amateurs. 😉
I have one of an italian fighter
@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab LOL really? SH only make short run kits, the best thing about SH is that they make interesting low volume subjects, but in term of quality Eduard is light years ahead.
@@Kf1rr You might want to take a look at Special Hobbies range. Not just short run kits these days, absolutely up there with the best of the best in my opinion.
@@AubreyStJohn3000They still are not the top notch kits (maybe except Bf-109E family in 1/72). They look nice on sprues, but they have some fitting issues and in many cases have no locating pins (for some out there it is a huge drawback). SH tends to release many versions of the subject, so you can count on having some PE/resin/3D printed extras and many different painting options from the following boxings. And they like to reissue old models with new decals and additions, so you have to carefully study the history of plastic inside. I have built a few of their models so far. Ones were kinda okay-ish (MS.410 for example), but the others were absolute sufferings (IAR-38). Their kits are intended for experienced modellers only
👍👍
Ahh yes, the Matchbox School of Panel Canyons. 😆 Now, if only they had subscribed to the Matchbox School of Including the Pilot.
USAF started in 1947
