Robyjet Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi all, just finished the HobbyBoss 1/48 F-105G. It was completely OOB, just decal were changed, mainly because color of the kit decal are, in my opinion, wrong. Fitting is good, not as Tamiya of course, but better than most Hasegawa, IMHO. Main legs are EXTREMELY fiddly: when kit is finished is a good idea not to move the plane too much. Hope you like it Ciao Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spooky 01 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sweet build ! :o Nicely weathered & I love the yellow on the canopies. Kinda make the kit realy stand out. As for the main landing gear: guess that a common problem for all "big-scale" Thud's. That's why I bought some metal gear for my Trumpie 1/32 F-105. Just to make sure... "Check Six....." Spooky.

Spilloneforever Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This great job done by Rob clearly demonstrate that we can beat the "Rivet Monster" coming from China just using some skills and patience :-) Great model, Rob! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotaliscia Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Firs time I see an HB Thud completed. And last saturday I discovered that photos doesn't render full justice to the model. Real looks better than on the monitor. I have been a little disappointed from a first in-the-box look, but after having seen your model I changed my mind. All these rivets doesn't seem so evident whith paints on, and your expert washing perform at the best. And now I'm considering to buy the Hobby Boss kit. ...if to buy another kit is a good thing, for me! ...what's the decal sheet you're selling, my friend?
