USAFsparkchaser Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Thank you. This site has review of Zotz sheet and has some photos. http://www.themodellingnews.com/2012/10/zotz-132-f-105fg-in-vietnam-wild.html?m=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 "Jinkin Josie" was included with the AeroMaster 48-374 Takhli Weasels sheet. I know, it's as rare as unobtanium but it was released at one time. Not sure if this would affect Kursad's effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Exactly it’s hard to find. That’s why I hope he includes it on the sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think the one that I would truly be forever grateful for is 'KingFish One'. Doesn't have fancy nose art or anything but is truly special as it was the aircraft the MOH recipient Leo Throsness flew. For anyone that hasn't ever read about this aircraft or it's crew : https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/19-april-1967/ There's also "Republic F-105F-1-RE Thunderchief 63-8311, 388th Tactical Fighter Wing, Korat RTAFB. This is the type aircraft flown by LCOL McInerney and CAPT Shannon, 11 August 1967." https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/11-august-1967-3/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) "Jinkin' Josie" art work. From the F-105 FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/F105thunderchief Lots of great pics there. Edited July 31, 2018 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But hey a single seat sheet with some T-sticks on it would not be a bad idea, just saying. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I am almost done designing this sheet - profiles will be coming soon. I think you will like it: in addition to a couple aircraft with nose art ("Jinkin' Josie" and "Cooter"); there will be Georgia and Virginia ANG aircraft, and both wartime and post-war jets with WW tail code. Two kinds of sharkmouths, etc. Coming as part of the December batch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 This will be an nice sheet Kursad. For some reason I am on a Thunderchief kick after seeing some really nice models at some recent model shows I attended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Ten options on this sheet - I will post a full listing when I start posting the profiles. A good range of Wild Weasels from the Vietnam War era all the way to the last years of the Thud's service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I love it. I just finished reading The Hunter Killers by Dan Hampton over the weekend (surprisingly I already owned it and had to read it for one of my college courses) and it's great to see a new sheet coming out with some of the very aircraft that was mentioned in the book. Awesome job Kursad, really looking forward to this one. Edited November 1, 2018 by Whiskey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I started working on the 1/72 version, which will have the same selection of options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
