Here is my entry in the GB Well, not really, but I am using the box having ditched the Revell end opening flimsy. Kept the box art. Let's say we have started to upgrade the kit already. A few things added such as an Aries cockpit and Master pitot tube. The Revell kit decal sheet looks very nice. Hopefully they're still OK. The weasel mouth schemes are very popular with modellers. I wanted something a little different, if possible without the mouth. A subject preferably weathered/faded with some photo evidence if I could be so lucky. Vietnam era early non-wrap around scheme. 'SAM FIGHTER' ticks all the boxes. 1. I have the decals 2. It has no mouth 3. Weathered/faded 4. A good colour photo. 5. Earlier non-wrap around scheme And to add that nice additional touch it's an "F". Now we are excited. I purchased the AK Real Colors USAF TAC SEA set: It will be a re-scribe job even though the raised panel lines are very fine. Thankfully we have till end of September to complete this and get it into the gallery. With work and travel commitments this build is definitely "pushing the envelope". Ray

Greetings This is a classic kit and one of the best representations of this aircraft . I was stationed at MacConnell AFB,Kansas in the 70's and got to watch them fill the sky. This aircraft has Kansas markings from that period and is a F-105F backdated from the kit F-105G. Aftermarket was Resin Seats, Metal Main Gear,MV Lenses for Landing lights, and Master Pitot. Paints were "what we have on hand"..Gunze Dark Green, Testors Acrylic Light green, Vallejo Brown and Humbrol Light Grey, over-coated by Testor Rattle Can Dullcoat (decanted). Had to go outside for the Photos because the model is quite Large . Reason for two different backrounds. Used Uschi Powders on Speed Brakes exhaust petals Really great kit of this Very Large "Fighter" Aircraft. Cheers Thanks for Looking Bill
