Havent posted in a while, but Im still here and building! LOL I finished this one up today. The Revell F-105D T-Stick in 1/48.

Overall, a very good kit. Only two squadrons ever used this variant, so marking choices are essentially the two in the kit or you can get the Caracal Thud sheet that has like one other option. Honestly not worth it for just that. The main drawback to the kit is the nose cone is too small diameter wise. It plain doesnt fit right. So I got the Reskit nose they make for the Hobby Boss kit. I figured what the hey. And sure enough, with not a lot of work, it works just fine for the Revelogram kit. I would also recommend metal landing gear as the kit nes are not great. They bend and cant as you can see in the nose on pic.

Nice looking build. Pantherman
 
Been in love with the Thud for ages! Just getting started on another late 60s jet myself. Trying to build up some skills to try the F4.
