hatchet Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks Martin, I fear I have screwed up as I have put the ALQ105 on and as you say they are only on the G not the EF-105F So she migh have to be a EF modded to do G duties What is MoH? That might be a bit "iffy". The Gs were modified from the Fs, so an F modded to do G-work is, in fact, a G It's your model tho', so you can do pretty much what you want, eh? Just look at how my AMI Tornado ECR is coming along! Two Thud pilots got the Medal of Honor, Cpt. Leo K. Thorsness as mentioned, on April 19th '67 and Cpt. Merlyn H. Dethlefsen on March 10th '67. It's looking great Mish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 More info Martin from another forum: EF-105F's did carry the earlier Standard AGM-78A missile (no external difference to the later one the G carried), so you would be fine to hang a couple of those under the inner pylons, a fuel tank under the centreline and an AGM-45 Shrike under one outer pylon with either and ALQ-87 or ALQ-101 under the other outer pylon ( as dictated by 'General Ops' ) Alas I have no ALQ-87 or ALQ-101 so mine as it stands is a right hybrid (cockup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Alas I have no ALQ-87 or ALQ-101 so mine as it stands is a right hybrid (cockup) If you don't say anything, I won't either I assume the decision to hang one or two STARM depended on distance to target and how good the tanker-coverage was.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Today's efforts, after spending all day yesterday applying stencils today I concentrated on the canopies and the stores. Guess who forgot to spray the canopies black before the main colour Still got the rear canopy to finish off. (BTW they are bluetaced in position for the pics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Peri, the silvering looks worse under the modelling light than it actually is. There is some slight silvering on some decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BTW they are bluetaced in position for the pics) Mish those canopies are big enough to hand paint the insides by hand so don't worry it looks great from here. The 105 is one of my favourites i have at least three of that kit and one or two in 1/72 Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrain Safe Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Just read this thread and am seriously impressed. About halfway through my build of this one (my first model kit for over 30 years!) and what a beauty it is. About to start painting the outside and I wish mine would be about a tenth as good as this one. Seriously impresssed and very scared of doing mine now.

Simon Williams Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That's seriously smart. Mish . I've just started the Hobby Boss kit tonight and I hope mine comes out as well as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, thank you all, I'm flattered. Seriously she has some faults, a lot of my own making, but I'm pleased with her. The kit is not bad for an oldie. Building again I would invest in some after-market U/C legs, sourced some better colour matched paint and researched te aircraft rather than rely on what comes with the kit. Clif I'm not good enough for competitions. Terrain Safe and Simon. I returned to modelling in September of 2007 after at least a 25 year break to find that standards had raised, methods have changed and I needed to relearn. This I'm still doing by watching and listening to other modellers from here and elsewhere. Keep at it you will be turning out masterpieces in no time at all.
