Yes, templates will be standard parts of the wooden kit.

Mirce

Hi all

I have received this kit and I can tell you the quality is excellent, email communication is excellent, the time it took to deliver was 8 days and photos are exactly the same as what I have received! Now onto building it!! Do not hesitate if your thinking of building this superb model..

Thank you Sonicboom, photos are from my workshop, I have one and only file for cutting, so everything must be exactly like I post here.
This is new wooden kit model for me also, so during building I check all details. You can see that almost no any sanding on parts, everything fit nice and precise.

Rudder building system is same like elevators, ply plate template, parts fit perfectly inside. Extreme easy for work...

Before elevator & rudder I almost cover all fuselage with 3 mm balsa.
Front fuselage part I show before...

I wish I had the time for a project like this it really looks like a lot of fun to build.

Dear Mirce,
i have a question. What is the diameter of the aluminium tubes for the elevator and for the wings.
Thank you for information
Peter

Diameter of wing tube is 30 mm and for elevators 16 mm.

Mirce

Landing gears use in drawings are Behotec - C 50.

Mirce

Dear Mirce,
i would like to come back to post #8. The writer is right, the nose gear position is very far away from scale. I think the ground handling of the model will be better with the actual position. But a F-100 must look like a F-100, even on ground. Please don't misunderstand me, you are doing a very nice job and the construction looks very good. I analized the construction and i think it could be possible to move the nose gear box back up to the seperation line of the two fuselage parts. The position then would not be exactly scale, but very much better. I flew a F-100D scale 1/7.2 for several years and i love this model. I'm thinking over to buy one.

Peter

Hello Peter, yes you are right.

As I told earlier, I got drawings and use it. Don't take care are nose gear on scale position, but as you told, it can be more backward.
Why nose gear are on position where it is now I really don't know, maybe because better ground handling.
Also, there are space to move nose gear backwards, if modeler want to have more scale model.
This is huge model and have enough space. In that case split position of intake channels can be more inside.

For me this is first F 100 I build, maybe on second I'll made some changes around nose gear and intake channels.
But it is good for other modelers to see all this and change some things during building.

After vacation works on "Mirce models" F 100 continued.

For tightening the cover of the turbine and the cabin on the model I will use 4 mm screws.

Unfortunately, during the work in the workshop, I broke the last fuselage rib. That's why I made a cone at the end of the fuselage separately and then glued it.

F 100 wings ( continuation )...

On bottom side first I add servo holders.
Servo carrier & cover - NS Modelers

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...0cff91df5f.jpg
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...4550d9b034.jpg

Before planking with 3 mm balsa on the bottom side, I must insert in the wing pylon holders.
The previous step was to make the pylons.
One of offer from F 100 Super Sabre wooden kit is wing tank & pylon kit:
F 100 - wing tanks & pylons - NS Modelers

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...3f2d162088.jpg
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...c3672d316d.jpg
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...afbc35435b.jpg

I made pylons first, take care you have left and right pylon!!!

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...a8b9f8adaa.jpg
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...7e04969c8f.jpg
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...f16dc98c3d.jpg

Now parts which come into the wing...

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...28b7fa3b7e.jpg
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...0ef72bff82.jpg

After bottom side planking...

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...99adee4cf4.jpg
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...7c70b140fd.jpg

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...914eadda52.jpg
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...b57cf3fed8.jpg

You can see on photos, front and rear pylon side are made from balsa. Ply plates give shape, so it is easy for sand.
Three bolts are for wing - pylon connection and two other holes are for wing tank.

Wow, amazing work!

Hey, very nice ! But what are those little colored pins ? Where did you bought them ?

So now that most of the sheeting is done what is the weight on the air frame at this point?

Thanks
Joe

Small pins are from "Mibo model" hobby shop - Modelarske bucike Ø 0,6 x 20 mm 50 kos

About weight, I don't measure, but will do that in next few days...

Sweet!

I feel like a kid waiting for christmas waiting for updates on this thread every day! I don't have time to build myself but I love watching this thread as it's a real build. I miss having time to build. Can't wait for more!
