One of the first jets in the Vietnam War was the North American F-100 Super Sabre. It arrived at Don Muong airport in Bangkok, Thailand in 1961, already a proven veteran, and for the next eight years, this classic fighter-bomber did the job it was designed to do. The F-100 flew primarily in South Vietnam supporting ground troops and got little publicity. Though never officially credited with a kill, many believe Capt. Don Kilgus of the 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron shot down a MiG-17 in April 1965. It so, it was the only aerial victory for a Hun. The classic Monogram kit. Monogram's F-100D is a veteran in its own right. First released in 1980, it was typical of Monogram kits of the time. The detail and outline were good, hut the fit of big parts was not. In 2001, Monogram reissued the kit with new colorful decals.
