Something which worked the best was flattening the tyres on the main landing gear legs so that there's a level surface for the kit to rest on. To keep the proper sit I had to slightly flatten the nose landing gear tyre as well, but very lightly. Stability is highly increased that way until there's a brass solution. Yeh, it is...

Ever since September the 16th last year, I've been harassing one sheila going by the name of Charlene Norman on SprueBrothers on a monthly basis so that she would tell me when they were going to restock the 1/48 F-105D brass legs for the Monogram kit. I never got a reply ever again. Yeh, me didn't... Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasosrr Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Wow @exdraken , this one turned out to become a very beautiful model. I have built the same kit, although mine ended its own short life in a rather inglorious way, broken to pieces after an inner explosion of uncontrollably aggressive feelings. Some sad pictures of the farewell ceremony still exist somewhere but I'm not too proud of myself and hence avoid publicity. But your model, mate, inspires me to the point of buying a new kit and fighting with it all over again. You've done a fantastic job there. Well done.
