A comparison between the two reveale the following. The Super Sabre was the more powefull of th two with J57 engine with 4.6 ton dry thrust and 7.2 with afterbuner.
The Hunter was given the Avon series 207 non afterburning engine with 4.6 ton.
As far as speed the F-100D was closed to mach 1.0 at sea level while the Hunter was 0.95 mach and climb rate was 19000 vs 17500 feet per min. The max range was above 2000 km but in the Super Sabre the use of the afterburner reduced it considerably. In terms of ammunition the Hunter had 4 x30 mm guns much more powerful from the 4x20 mm of the F-100.
The load capacity was very close among the two. The F-100 fought maily in South Vietnam as an artillery bomber with endless missions against vietcong forces in the Jungles with various bombs and rockets of all kind. It flew more missions than any other American plane in the theater and dome 250 were lost due to all reasons.
The Hunter fought in the middle east and in the Hindo Pakistan wars among some African clashes and proved to be a very dangerous opponent and excellent fighter that was loved by all it's pilots.
In air to ground missions the two are more or less equal with a slight advantage to the nimble Hunter. The Hunter was an export success story and was selling like hot cakes to many air forces around the globe.
In air to air the Hunter was much better killing Indian and Israelis fighters.
Also the attrition rate of the F-100 was much higher due to high speed landings and the awful snake dance phenomena.
The Hunter was from 1962 IAF magazine and it's origin from WHM were it was painted with Swiss markings and scale is 1:48.
A full cockpit was added.
