			Out of stock

	Fabulous 1/72 scale Hobbymaster model of the F-100A Super Sabre in the superb livery of 0231 of the 455th Tactical Fighter Wing, Republic of China Air Force based in 1977. The model has outstanding detail with opening canopy, optional undercarriage positions and armament plus stand. Production of 1,200 pieces, of which only a few hundred have been imported to the UK so this is a must have addition to your jet collection In 1959, the first batch of F-100A/Fs arrived in Taiwan to replace the obsolete F-84Gs of RoCAF (Republic of China Air Force). In November 1978, the 23rd Fighter Squadron temporarily based at Hsinchu AB, was ordered to transfer back to Chiayi AB to be re-equipped with F-5Es, and leaving all their F-100s behind to a newly formed 42 Fighter Squadron under the command of 11th Fighter Group, 499 TFW. The original F-100s of the 23rd Squadron, had the blue squadron idetification paint scheme on the nose and tail. To differentiate from their former unit, the 42 Squadron had all the tail paint schemes removed but kept the blue nose. Only sometimes later, the 499 TFW insignia was painted on the tail. This paint scheme was short lived, because the 42 Squadron was re-equiped with F-104Gs in 1983. The aircraft number of this model starts with "02" indicates it was the second batch received by RoCAF. Today, the 499 TFW is comprised of 41st, 42nd and 48th Fighter Squadrons, operating Mirage 2000-5s. 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.
