The F-105 should have been an A-105. It was really a tactical nuclear attack plane designed to internally carry nuclear ordnance. Thus it was not maneuverable like the Phantom. In Vietnam it was used as a bomb truck mostly. You see video of a whole squadron dropping dumb bombs like it's WW2.....
And there was a wild Weasel version used to carry anti radiation missiles against SAM 2 missile sites .
A little trivia..
There are auxiliary air intakes for the engine in the main landing gear bay to feed extra air on take off at max power...
Fun projects Yair. Keep it going
