Time to build a Thud . Going to do the markings of the one my dad was crew chief on at Takhli 67-68 . Going to arm this one with two M-118 2000lb bombs . I have a Reskit cneter fuel tank also mcoming for it . The reskit 3d Pylons and Bombs looks really nice !

Looking forward to this build, Brian (@f-104nut). I have always thought the Monogram still builds into a nice model, especially with some TLC. I think the extra resin you have will really make this one a standout. When I graduated from pilot training in 1977, the F-105 was still flying in several squadrons. My class was supposed to get several F-105 assignments, but we got F-4s instead.

Started getting the cockpit cleaned up tonight . I will be using a old seemless s****r ejetion seat . The cockpuit was lacking a throttle . So isctach built one and added a little more detsail . Nose t start spraying the cockpit grey .

Great start, Brian. That’s still an excellent kit.

Great interior, my friend @f-104nut!

Great work on the interior, Brian @f-104nut

The additions you made to the cockpit really improve the cockpit, Brian @f-104nut. I have always wondered why so many models fail to include something as noticeable as the throttle lever, especially in 1/48. The new seat will make a big difference.

Worked on the noew strut tonight . Kit instructions call to install the wheel while glue the left and ride side strut together . Hard to paint the tire and strut together. So i clppied thre axle pins off and drillled a hole all the wat through the strut . I'll either use a plastic axle or metal axle on installing the wheel . Installed the kit gun tonight which will be painted later . Got my Reskit 650 gallon center line tank which is really nice ! Also pulled out my F-105D T-Stick II which will be finished sometime this year .

Nice approach on the strut, Brian @f-104nut
The center line tank seems like a nice one indeed.
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

Good job on the strut and gun, my friend @f-104nut! The drop tank looks great!

Progress time on the Thud tonight . Az-el antennas removed . Also removed some little hump areas from the tail section for for the Reskit burner can . Kit pitot glued on the nose cone . Once dry I will cut the kit pitot off in prep for the master brass pitot .
