The images are beautiful. I keep looking at them and just know there is something wrong. Yep I counted all the rivets and you are one short! There is a hole on the fuselage and no rivet! Upps, my mistake there was a tiny bug on my screen, looks like another winner. Best of luck

Looking fantastic! (Flying with the canopy open and pitot boom folded looks like the sort of flight I make sometimes!)

Cant help coming back for another look...

I saw one of these at a museum recently and I was surprised by how big it was. Impressive looking aeroplane
and the Milviz model...well...outstanding:applause:

A sure buy for me. But I would like a few factory-fresh skins. The weathering looks very realistic, but for me it is s bit overdone here and there. That is of course a matter of personal taste.
Is the refuelling boom standard or can it be removed?

Shouldn't all those dome-headed rivets be flush rivets ?

The F-100 was the first "Fighter" I worked on after coming out of Tech School at Chanute. 2 years in Tripoli, Libya at Wheelus AFB. I don't know when they went to flush set screws for the skin. . .normally I would say on an airplane of that era/type, dome rivets/screws would not have been the norm. . .however that was 52 years ago and there aren't enough of those brain cells left, lol. I'm sure there are "Walkarounds" of the F-100 that would plainly show what was what though. A beautiful airplane (to me anyway) and MilViz has captured the memories. Thanks guys!!

Looking good!

I'm no aviation rivet expert, but I believe even the fighters in ww2 started to use flush rivets (as the P-51). So I would assume the hi speed F-100 definitely used it and not dome rivets.

The rivets will be flush. (Or at least, more so than they are now). These shots are taken in Max and are not representative of the final in FSX/P3D.

As a young child growing up just under 5 miles from Barksdale AFB's flight line, I will always remember how beautiful the Thunderbird paint scheme was on the F-100. It was bright, colorful, and
looked fast as the formation/solo planes would go thru their show routine. It just stood out brightly against the blue Louisiana skies. Good days indeed and I look forward to bringing this one into
the hangar!
