Someone will probably start pumping out accessories, especially since Trump is likely to release an F model as well. |

For now, the Eduard 48183 F-100C/D PE set should be directly applicable. But it is kind of hard to find. I would hope that Eduard will have a Color Zoom set soon. Most of the decals sheets are the the F-100D. I have 2 from Superscale for the D, but cannot find a C decal yet.
I walked into my LHS in St. Charles, MO and found 2 of the 1/48 Trumpeter kits on the shelf. They have one left when I walked out. As expected, I paid less than mail order.
I have one Monogram F-100D finished (#5416), one in the stash (#5471, High Tech kit with a small PE fret). The Trumpeter is my third Super Sabre kit.
The worst problem of the Monogram kit is the mis-match at the aft fuselage. Still have a visible gap at the finished one. The Trumpeter should not have this problem. My first Monogram was build with the Pretty-Penny scheme.

I had a little fun trying to figure out how to build with the canopy open. Unfortunately, the new Trumpeter instruction has no such "open canopy" step either. Worst, it shows glueing Part# A3 to A2, very wrong for open canopy.
Michael Benolkin's F-100 site is very useful.
