Hobbycraft HC1696: F-105D Thunderchief

If there is a shape problem with the vertical stabilizer, that amount of resin attributed to the aftermarket fix sitting that far aft brings other problems.

Dont worry the amount of resin at the back will be more than offset by the amount of resin plus blood sweat and tears at the front trying to fix the nose/ windshield/canopy/spine to keep it balanced!

50 years on and not one good F-105D on the market except for the new Platz 1/144 105.

Someone finally got the spine/canopy right with a decent cross section...and in 144th at that.

I had no idea, thanks a bunch.

 

You re welcome!

 

Eduard also released Mk82 (early style I guess?)

Also, I found those resin M117:

I dont really know if it's worth it.

I built the Hobbycraft boxing of this kit many years ago.  It was one of the Hobby Lobby 50% off deals I got way back when.  It was truly a very enjoyable build experience. 

 

I'm certainly looking forward to eventually doing mine.
