The F-100 has a lot of vents and intakes. Some of these are moulded in to BVM fuse, which is nice, but not altogether convincing. To improve some of these I have opened them up and used some thin ply/poly ply to build depth.

I have no idea what the side nose vents are for. The D (single seat) has just one each side while the F has 2 per side??

Full size pics.

This series of pics show the process of building the vents


Gun exhaust ports, Ram air trubine exhaust and other vents were similarly treated. The inside of the vents are lined with lite ply to add depth.



And when painted these really add some depth and dimension to the model.. (this pic is during the weathering process.)
