F-105D/F in 1:200

[cafe]

Found the site that has that that hand drawn F-105 : http://papirmakettek.lapunk.hu/?modul=galeria&a=739

The website is in hungarian. Pages 1 and 2 don't seem to be in the same scale on the silver F.

I replaced the wings of the first F-105D and added the landing gears to all three. The nose LG doors are a bit too short and I've already remade that part since I took the pictures.

Now onto "mod 2" :
- fix the tail cone and nose cones
- fix the wings uppersides where they connect to the fuselage
- redo the SEA from scratch and adapt it to the F-105F/G
- try some external stores

I like these birds!

Those Thunderchiefs look so elegant, yet formidable at the same time. Great job developing the F and G version. With all the F-105s you are making, you may have to nickname that mountain in the background "Thud Ridge".

Thank you.

I'm debating whether doing the electronics blisters on the F-105G fuselage sides in 3D or leaving them in 2D. External stores will be 2D though except fuel tanks.

The plan so far is :
- early D (pre SEA camo)
- late D (SEA camo + reverse SEA camo)
- early F (pre SEA camo)
- late F (Wild Weasel III)
- G (Wild Weasel III)

I would say 3d on the electronic blisters

Looks great! Much improved from my original. I look forward to building it now that I have a working printer again.

They all look great.

Thank you, Paragon and everyone.

The next build will have a slightly wider tail cone. The first version was missing a good millimeter and a half at its base.



The new version is in blue.
