Smokey Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I search but didn't find a link for it but thought a few years ago after this model came out that I read somewhere that some company produce the intake parts (the variable ramp and slide) for these beasts and thought it was a small company from UK. I dug this beast out and going to try and get it done hopefully this year. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Reskit makes a real nice set. kalashnikov-47, Bill Cross and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 A check of the Reskit site doesn't show the F-105 intakes available as nothing is listed for that. The last posting I saw said under development. Perhaps, a release that will become available soon? That being the case, Reskit has lots of other F-105 goodies for sale. I also believe a sale currently underway. Mark Proulx LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Reskit has said they have several Thud upgrades in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 The only things AMS Resin had for that kit were FOD covers and a corrected tail strake. If you want either of those, drop me an email and I'll start digging through molds. Tim bnbresindesign@gmail.com CRAZY IVAN5 and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) I have a feeling that Aires / Quickboost do a scoop-set for the big Chunderthief. Whoops.... I've just re-read the OP's post and he's after the MAIN air-intakes and not the small air-scoops for the engine compartment (as provided by Quickboost). Sorry for any confusion caused. Happy New Year. Chris. Edited December 29, 2023 by Confusionreigns178 Amending some information LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my parts 20 years ago. ResKit have done a lot of great gear for the Thud but no inlets as yet. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 FWIW, I think brass landing gear for this kit a must, though may now be hard to source. The kit is quite heavy and the OOB landing gear struts are kind of "findly". The problem for much of the aftermarket resin bits is that it addresses issues at the tail. This only adds weight aft of the main gear where it is least wanted. It would require weight added to the nose for correct stance, making a heavy kit even heavier.
