F-100D Super Sabre, Maj. Don Schmenk (1:72)

Length: 7.75" Width: 6.5"

The North American F-100 Supersabre served the USAF from 1954 to 1971 and the ANG until 1979. The F-100 commonly referred to as the ��_Hun��_, a shortened version of ��_one hundred��_ was the first US fighter capable of attaining supersonic speed in level flight. The Hun was used extensively as close-air-support in South Vietnam. The F-100 suffered from landing gear and brake parachute failures, electrical problems, refueling probes that broke off during some maneuvers and the occasional wing failure. Over 500 of the 1,274 F-104Ds that were built were lost mostly due to these failures.
