Hobbyboss 1/48 F-105D Thunderchief


Recommended Posts

Finally finished! Extra's include True Details (ex-KMC) seat,ALQ-87 ECM pod and MER from Hasegawa weapons set and AIM-9B/pylon from the spares box.The centreline pylon is scratchbuilt as you don't get one with the kit :lol: and the decals are from Aeromaster. Nicely detailed and quite easy to build,the only probs coming from the refuelling probe door and gun bay which are designed to be open.Lots of potential for superdetailing with a detailed engine,gunbay,radar and refuelling probe there for options.

Hi,

Very nice work...

From the top view picture i saw that you painted the engine intakes in White, shouldn't it be Green Zinc-Chromate?

I had problems to find the info on that when i built my MG Thud (5-6 years ago)

thanks for sharing

I found THIS by Jim Rotramel as I needed it also.

WOW :D Thanks Pierre :D

Probably i've made the mistake painting them Green-Zinc :pray: ... although i'm sure i checked that issue.

I think they might have switched from green to white around the same time they stopped having silver gear. The white makes it easy to see hyd leaks on the gear.

beautiful work. Did you use the kit decals for the yellow sealer around the canopy or did you paint it? I was wondering how well the decals would work

Kit decals were used.
