john53 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Here's the start to my F-105D. It's the Revell 1/72 F-105D to be done as a Korat bird, JV tail code from 1968. Hopefully I can find Ohio Express- Foley's Folly, if not then any JV tail code plane I can find will do. The kit had a bit of warpage, mainly the wings and a bit on the fuselage nose and tail. Hot water and a lot of massaging took it out. I have the cockpit painted, nose weight in but have left the seat out till last.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 OMG I got serious nostalgic vibes....I built that very model when I was 9! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Pfffffft! This is the one that was out when I was NINE! I think it had the stars and bars etched into the wings, if the decals failed you could paint the etching! Actually this came out when I was 6.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john53 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) You'd think I'd had nuff torture with the Revell-Monogram build but I guess I am a glutton for punishment. There's 3 planes I have wanted to build for a long time, the Intruder, Bf-109 G-6 and an F-105D. I'll be damned if I will let this one beat me. I have had problems with it, it was warped big times along with it's box mate the A-6B. The tail keeps leaning to the left, I heated with hot air, water and used brute force but it still leans left, why????? Anyways I will try brute force again then maybe the hair dryer, again! The good news is the nose is on. Now to fix the toe in wing tanks and bow legged gear. Are we having fun yet, HELL YES!!!!!---John Edited October 1, 2018 by john53 incorrect grammar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
