Harvs73 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have had a number of Monogram F-105 kits of various marks in the stash for several years and finally managed to start work on one of them, the F-105G. I wanted to do something different so I am doing it as a RAAF Wild Weasel being flown in support of a Canberra Strike mission. It is going to be in Gray/Green camouflage as the Canberra's were for a period of time. I am going to arm it with a pretty standard weapons load as it is in the kit. I have only added an Eduard PE set for the instrument panels and everything else in OOB at this time. It is a relatively straight build with just the canopy being a little upsetting as it can't be put in the down position as it won't fit, the canopy is too narrow for the opening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs73 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I am doing a 1/48 Canberra as well a the moment but as a Trials Unit aircraft. The TSR2 is in the stash and will be made up as a 'What if' as well since I have already made the prototype. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I have managed to mask it and airbrush on the green scheme using Gunze H-80. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looking good Dave, intrigued by the Squadron markings you will use, 6Sqn perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I love the idea of a Thud in those markings (my favourite on the Mirage), this is fantastic David! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 The initial RAAF markings are on and I reckon it looks good in this scheme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 The legs are a bit wobbly, hopefully the struts firm it up a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriaN (MLT) Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 the gear doors will strengthen it up. mine has been standing on its 3 legs for over 2 years with no breakages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) I am still slowly working on the F-105G and am now down to the small details. I have painted the exhaust Testors Metalizer 'Burnt metal' and have buffed it up. The image below has the untouched parts on the right with the most polished/buffed part on the left.
