Volture Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi to all,, Hope all of you to have a great month...and my October started with the "camo weekend"..... As you can see at the photos....all the basic colours of the Vietnam war camouflage are painted on this beast....two days of masking and over masking...and yesterday night the masks are away...i hope the result is good enough... what do you think?

David Hansen Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think it looks pretty good. Just a couple of observations. On one hand, i don't know how "Sharp" the separation between colours should look on a 32nd scale model compared to the real thing. On the other hand, remembering back to my days building 48th scale Monogram Thuds, i remember that the mid-wing configuration made masking off and painting the camo pattern a lot more difficult than painting an F-4 (Especially with the ECM pods on the fuselage sides), so who am I to judge? Bottom line- looks great. Pay careful attention when installing the main gear legs. A lot of modelers finish theirs with the struts toeing -in when viewed from head-on. The struts have a forward rake when viewed from the side but should be perfectly vertical. I think this had to do more with the engineering of the kit with a built in anhedral of the wing (which i don't think the F-105 has), rather than builder error. Others no doubt know more. Keep on Keeping on!! david Volture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The camo was fairly "sharp" as I remember. I like how yours is coming along. It looks good to me........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on Keeping on!! david Thank you David.....i need your judge and observations....your experience is very precious to me....so i will check it out twice and i will try to correct it if that need it... i did what i did because i thought it was a mixed type of edges in real thing Thank you so much again David David Hansen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its fuzzy, its fuzzy. If its sharp, its sharp. You can't do better research and be faithful to the real thing than that. -d- Volture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
