Ignacio Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hello fellow modellers I need some help here Does anybody knows what was the circular thing over the nose of the F-105D, between the refueling receptacle and the cone? Also, what colour was that? I leave you some links to see what ask for https://pin.it/4AyzozJ https://pin.it/3mryG3M https://pin.it/eeafHcM Best regards Ignacio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod mcq Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 According to the Squadron Signal Walkaround book on the F-105 the circle is an IFF antenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Hmmm, I think it's the Automatic Direction Finder antenna. That's what it says in multiple books. Looks like a typical unpainted fibre glass cover, some sort of grey/tan color would probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
