"Ahead of it's time."

The jets unusual design is what caught my modeler's eye. An unusual story, also. It certainly is an attention getter amongst its model shelf co-habitants!

"Great kit"

Great kit of one of the overlooked century fighters. Glad trumpeter saw fit to make this kit.

 
"excellent kit of a rare subject"

I was really happy to see this kit issued! It is a nicely done kit of a very rare aircraft. The build was a bit more challenging than most of the major brand kits at the time it was issued. If you take your time and fit the parts well it will build up with no problems. I used Testors red in the small square bottle to touch up the small areas the decals didn't cover and Testors red spray for some of the bigger areas the decals didn't cover. It is a very close match.

The F-107A with a recessed weapon bay under the fuselage. However,extensive design changes resulted in its redesignation from F-100B to F-107A. Three F-107As were builtas prototypes and were test flown extensively, but the aircraft did not go into production, the Republic F-105 having been selected as the standard fighter-bomber for the Tactical Air Command in late 1957.
