JMcD Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 My least favorite cold war jet of the US... I simply don't like it and I don't know why! Intakes, empennage or the nozzle?? Even the SEA camouflage does not make me like it and I don't even know why I built it in the first place... maybe just hoping that it would reverse my feelings but... nope... Kit's your everyday Trumpeter, with highs and lows. Surface details ok, poor cockpit detail with nothing to mention of, ejection seats in particular, hence the closed canopies which is uncommon for my modeling taste. Not a gem for me in my 1:32nd scale collection but anyway, here it is for your views and comments...

Confusionreigns178 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) For an aircraft you happily admit to not liking, you've made one hell of a good job. Such a superb paint-finish. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Edited May 17, 2021 by Confusionreigns178 Correcting a typo. CODY and JMcD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themongoose Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 What i love the most are the soft edges between colors and the modulation of each color, especially the white where you can see the grey/black shadow under it. did you tape the camo color areas off or do something different to get that soft edge?

aircommando130 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Love the F-105...if you ever saw a real one taxi and then light that afterburner that had water injection to get that big Republic Aviation aircraft off the ground was an awesome sight. Big...loud...badass.. MIG killer and SAM site killer. Awesome job on a great aircraft! Cheers...Ron JMcD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patafix of UHU... Just roll it on a flat surface to same thickness "worms", then firmly press and stick these worms on the surface to follow the camouflage pattern. That will give you a nice looking soft edge when spraying the paint. Better with a quality airbrush of course... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
