HartDeco Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Hi all. Here's another of my models I finished in 2021. This is the Hobbyboss 1/48 F-105G. In my opinion one of the better kits of this brand. Don't ask me about accuracy as I couldn't care less. If it looks like an F-105G, it is an F-105G. The kit builds quite nicely but the Aires cockpit set needs quite some tlc to make it fit properly. Nothing new here. I used Gunze (MrHobby) acrylics over Alclad black primer. Weathering was done with Abteilung oilpaints and AK weathering pencils.. The decals are from Caracal and are excellent. Thanks for watching.

cifenet Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Superb work here! I love the realistic look on this one. Your photography is also good, nice lighting and the clean background brings the details of the great looking model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 A Thud always makes my heart pound, especially one as nicely done as yours. Thank you for making my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJP Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 HI- THE F105 is an impressive aircraft and your model really captures the feel of it. CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM REAPER Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Awesome Thud you got there! One very tiny detail, though. Your right main wheel is slightly misaligned, but it doesn't detract from the awesome build you have created! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Brilliant job on the Thud! In my opinion it always looks better in the SEA camouflage than the NMF. Regards, Jason 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toniosky Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Beautiful !! How did you manage to keep the focus on the first picture from the nose to the tail, the a/c being rather long? Did you use Focus Stacking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to keep the focus on the first picture from the nose to the tail, the a/c being rather long? Did you use Focus Stacking ? No focus stacking, just single shot. I take the photos from a distance, using the long end of the zoom range. In this case a Tamron 24-135mm. This lens has a smallest apperture of f40 which gives quite a large depth of focus too.

rakete173 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Congratulations. Superb result. I´ve already build this kit on my own, and I know that there´s very little main wheel for such a huge beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
