Tsar Bomba Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Here is my tribute to the Thud. I chose to do the landing gear up as I have read that the kit landing gear is very rickety and besides, I never seem to have luck with landing gears. I battled with silvering decals but that was my own fault for not spraying a gloss coat on first. Colours used were all Humbrol, censoring done using MS Paint. I chose the I scratchbuilt the centreline bomb rack as I did not want to use the Bullpup missiles supplied by the kit as it is not very 'Nam and because I like to make my life difficult. I'm not too sure if this weapons configuration was actually used with all of the Mk 82s but I don't have anything else to put on and I think it looks pretty cool Tried the salt technique to give some weathering effects 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I must try a 105 one day. My last attempt at one (without nose art) was doomed from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Great looking Thud, great to see an inflight model and nicely bombed up too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGonzales Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Good looking Thud... Mk82's were very common armament carried by almost every USAF bomber aircraft during Vietnam campaign, so I think there's nothing that looks wrong about this model.

Tzulscha Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Cherry Girl! The one I saw had the refueling door between her legs. Right in the 'sweet spot' in fact. Which was the joke of course. Fun for the boomer. That's the paint job I wanna do. If ever I get 'round to doing my thud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
