TRUMPETER 03221 1/32 F-100C Super Sabre Model Kit
The F-100C model first flew in March 1954 and 456 of this fighter/bomber
aircraft were produced.The C model was fitted with additional fuel tanks in the
wings, external store pylons under the wings so it could carry 6,000 pounds of
bombs and additional external fuel tanks.Later production aircraft used the
upgraded J57-P-21 engine.
An air refueling capability was also added to the C models. The air refueling
probe initially extended straight forward of the leading edge of the right wing.
The aircraft was flown behind a tanker aircraft with a long refueling hose and
basket.The pilot moved forward,plugged the probe into the basket and maintained
forward pressure during the fuel transfer. This straight probe was difficult to
use and was later reconfigured with an upward bend to raise the height and
extend the end of the probe.
The United States Air Force Thunderbirds performed in the F-100C from 1956 until
1964.
