russ c Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 They are lovely I would like to build a Thud, which kit did yiu think was best? (easiest to build?) cheers PC, As the Monogram/Revell kits are the same moulds, they`re about the same, but I`d go for the Revell F-105F/G Wild Weasel boxing if I had to buy just one, they`re cheap and the decal sheet is fantastic in options (5 off) and quality. hope this helps you, Thanks for looking. (and it hasn`t got bombs, I hate painting and glueing bombs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC2012 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for that Russ. I've looked everywhere though and cannot find the Revell kit. The only Thud in stock (1/48) is a 105D by Hobby Boss. I read a couple of reviews and the build seems okay. There is also a lot of aftermarket stuff for it too (cockpit, wheelbays etc) So I think I may go for that. Hope mine will turn out as good as yours! (Going to build an F-104 first though, as I already have that kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC2012 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Russ, I've heard that the Revell kit needs the panel lines re-scribing because they are raised, is this true? Did you have to re-scribe? I only ask because I'm not that experienced and would probably mess it up. If so, I may still go for the HB model. Thanks for the link by the way - they have 6 in stock!

Hi PC, I don`t rescribe raised lines, what I do is sand them down to make them less prominent, then after painting I draw them in with a mechanical pencil and weather over them and highlight areas around access hatches, flying controls, wing roots etc. Hope this helps.

Julien Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Nice, I love these old monogram kits. I am with you I don't re-scribe either, the raised panel lines look good as they are. Julien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
