F-105 G Thunderchief 1/48 Hobbyboss
Posted by lucianmillo on Friday, December 12, 2014 10:02 AM

Hello, everybody! I will briefly show you some of the steps took while building my 1:48th scale F-105 G 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.

Lovely work.  I was putting off tackling the one in my stash because of worries about soft edge camo.  But your hard edge camo has inspired me to make a start.  Once again, a quality build.

That turned out well. Did some thuds not have the yellow 'seal' around the canopy frames? I recall someone mentioning that it faded to pale yellow in SEA fairly quickly.  Great work. Mine is still in the stash.

Mr.Mij

First of all thank you for the feedback.
Looks like not all F-105's had the yellow seal on the windshield and canopy, just look at period photographs!

Thought that was the case. The decal or painting the seal looks like a PITA. Probably wont put it on mine when/if I get around to building it.
