Euro Decals sheet ED72-132 "North American F-100D Super Saber Collection Part 2" provides markings for four F-100Ds. The aircraft featured are:
- 56-3151 from the 481st TFS, 27th TFW at Cannon AFB, New Mexico during 1959. This aircraft wore a green upper fin outlined in white, three yellow bands on the nose outlined in white and small black "FW-151" buzz numbers on the fuselage. The green of the decals appears far too light (a medium olive green) when compared to the dark green of the real aircraft;
- 56-3056 from the 524th TFS, 27th TFW at Cannon AFB, New Mexico in 1959. This aircraft wore a yellow upper fin outlined in white and small black "FW-056" buzz numbers on the fuselage;
- 55-2862 from the 454th FBS, 323rd FBW at Bunker Hill AFB, Indiana during 1957. This aircraft carried a thick medium blue band on the fin with black chequers above and below, and a vertical medium blue band on the nose with vertical black chequers. It also wore black "FW-862" buzz numbers on the fuselage;
- 56-2933 from the 1st FDS, 413th FDW at George AFB during 1959. This wore two thick red bands on the fin outlined in white and two vertical red bands outlined in white on the nose, together with black "FW-933" buzz numbers.
Instructions provide a full colour A4 page for each aircraft with a four-view showing the scheme and stencilling.
The decals are printed by Fantasy Printshop; two sheets are provided, one with stencils for one aircraft and the other providing the individual aircraft markings.
