Popular Post pacificmustang Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 This went together far quicker than the instructions would suggest. Even with the raft of AM fitted. The cockpit panels are Quinta, seats Legend, fuselage intakes and wingtips Quickboost. Ladders are by LF Models and decals from Caracal . Weapons cane from a Hasegawa weapons set the kit went together with little issue. That said HobbyBoss only allow you to fit the canopies closed. I had to scratchbuild actuators, out of the box, the cockpit side consoles don’t reach to the fuselage sides either, however the Quinta set fixes this thanks for looking Bruce 78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Having worked on F-105Gs at George AFB during their last years, I can honestly say you've captured the look of the airplane very well. I love the cockpit decals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I do love the Thud. An absolute beast of an aircraft and it had to endure some pretty horrific war fighting Up North. That is great looking build, especially the cockpit. I think you owe the model (and us viewers) a few more piccies...!! Phil 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does you rate the Quinta set concerning ''Look & Feel'' and fitting? The printing up close is a little grainy, but nothing you notice at normal viewing distance. The 3D look is very apparent. They certainly do not look flat like PE does. As for fit, I found this set excellent, with the set properly sized to fit the panels. Colour looks good, you just have to paint the white edges where visible. As they are on the expensive side, I would just use them in wide cockpits where they will be easily visible thanks for the kind comments Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find a few more pics up on my website which is listed in my signature, (when I get the article finished😀) @SAT69 Very kind of you, especially given you worked on the real jets. @CaracalModels Thanks for doing the decals, they performed flawlessly as they always do Thank you everyone else for the kind comments Bruce 3 minutes ago, Harry Callahan said: Outstanding work Bruce, that impression me much.
