Hey Steve,
DId you check with Squadron Shop mail order for a replacement canopy for your Hun? I think Falcon? has a replacement vacuformed canopy for the Monogram F-100 kit…just an idea!
Dave
Dave,
I haven’t checked squadron yet. that’s a good idea. I’ll do that if Monogram doesn’t have it.
Thanks
Steve
Yeah, I’d hate to see you miss out on the chance to build this great kit. I’ve built a couple of them and you can’t beat them for the price and detail…now, if I could only get that natural metal finish down!!![:S]
Dave
I’ll figure out something. Love that Hun. I’m also am excited about the “missile with a man in it”. Love that one too.
I’m checking squadron now.
Hi Ken. I plan to build the Revell 1/48 F-105D Thunderchief kit. It’s been a while since I built something so this should be fun.
Hi Painklr,
The roster has been updated! Welcome aboard! [snWcm] No problems with you starting after a long dry spell. We are all friends here. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! [:)]
Ken
Welcome painklr to the group!! No sweat, many of us are still trying to come out of a dry spell!! Looking forward to seeing your Thud!

I received an email from Revell today.
" Our apologies, but due to the age of the kit, these parts are no longer available from Revell"
That’s OK I thought. I just ordered the canopy for the Monogram kit through Squadron.
Thanks for the tip Dave. I would never guessed someone made an AM of the canopy.
Otherwise I would be looking at the kit like a little kid missing a very important Lego piece.
I started on the F104C tonight. I am also expecting the canopy for the F100 tomorrow.
Sign me up with a crossover Monogram 1/48 F-100D Super Sabre. Maybe I can finally get moving on it. Work and hobbies don’t mix.
Hi Steve,
I updated the roster to include your F-104C. Another very cool plane! I love the Century fighters myself!
Ken
Welcome aboard Mailwalker! [snWcm] Another fine jet! The roster has been updated.
I agree with you about work and hobbies don’t mix! If only we could figure a way out of work! [:D]
Ken
[snWcm] Welcome to the GB, Mailwalker! Good to see a Super Sabre joining the crew!!
TAD
SoMM,
I received my replacement canopy for the F100, so I’ll be building both the F100D and F104C.
Steve
Here’s an update on my F104.
Need to sand some seems. They aren’t too bad though.
Beginning to look like a Starfighter Steve! Great job so far! [Y][Y]
Ken
Hey Steve! Great news on the canopy! Looking forward to seeing both of your builds. Got to love the built in angle of the wings on the 104! How will you be finishing it??
TAD,
I’ll be using Polished Aluminum and Chrome Alclad II. This will be the first time at trying it.
Guess what. Even though Revell said they didn’t have the clear tree for my old F100 kit, to my surprise, it just showed up today anyway.
Wow, now I have too many F100 canopies.
Anybody need a 1/48 F100 canopy?
Hi Steve,
Gamera (Cliff) knows quite a bit about using Metalizer paints. So if you have any questions, he would be more than happy to assist.
