F-105 D Thunderchief 1/48 Hobbyboss
Posted by lucianmillo on Sunday, October 26, 2014 11:15 AM

Hello, everybody! I will briefly show you some of the steps took while building my 1:48th scale F-105D from HobbyBoss. Landing gear bays and ejection seat are from Aires, while surface treatment was done using Vallejo model color acrylics, mixed to match the FS paints of the real aircraft, and sealed using Vallejo clear gloss varnish.

Very nice work. So it is possible to join the tail halves to the fuselage first, then put the 2 fuselage halves together?

Great work here.  Thanks for sharing.  I'll be building this kit soon enough for the Viet Nam GB soon as I can get around to it.  Any notable issues with those Aires add ons?
