This is my second entry for the "50sChallengeReborn" I wanted to make a more recognizable aircraft from the era so I chose the North American F-100 Super Sabre. The aircraft originated from the F-86 and was designed to perfect the original Sabre's flaws. This ended up turning into a new airframe all-together. The Super Sabre served with the USAF from 1954 to 1971 and saw many varients. The open mouth nose of the plane has four chin mounted M39A1 cannons and has additional mounting points on the wings. Currently I have two fuel tanks and four close range Air-to-Air missiles. Note: I took off the additional blocks from the missiles as they were giving me trouble. I got the aircraft as close as I could to scale with the real jet. Enjoy
AG1- Raise/Lower Tailhook
AG2- Raise/Lower Pitot Tube
AG3- Release Fuel Tanks
AG7- Lights
VTOL- Flaps
Note: Had to reupload the plane as the flaps weren't working before

Thanks for listening hahahaha @mikoyanster
Yeah I would say that’s a fair enough score for this build @mikoyanster
@mikoyanster I'm all for getting more points but ultimately you're the judge for this competition.
@Mustang51 7/10?
Yeah sure there’s a few bits here and there they aren’t perfect but definitely better than 5/10. Keep up the good work on the rest of your planes man @greasytortle
@Mustang51 Thanks. Though I see why. I wasn't able to hide that ugly bump in the middle of the plane and it's such an eyesore. I think I did a pretty good job on the rest of the design though. Probably could have made the engine look less default though.
Great job btw!
I feel like this needs more build quality points @mikoyanster
