This makes me want to start on my Revell F-105. It is one of the kits on my "I've never built" list. I really like the looks of those that I've seen completed and wonder to myself why it has taken me so long to add one to the stash. I love the detailing that you have done with the office area of these birds! Outstanding!

Thanks guys!
Sometimes, ya just gotta go all out!
Haven't gotten very far, for the time that has past...but it's better than nothin!
Trumpy has the position of the exhaust nozzle way too deep (bottom), it should be almost half an inch further back (top)
There is just a little detail in the nose gear bay...not even close to all the plumbing that's going on in the real deal...

Excellent added detail in the nose gear bay!

And a very nice catch on the positioning of the afterburner. I wonder how they got that so off?

Just about ready for the paint booth. One has to go into the holding pattern...need a replacement nose and canopy.
Question...
Planning on an asymmetric load....from left to right(head on view)
1. AGM-45"shrike" / 2. AGM-78 ARM / 3. fuel tank / 4. fuel tank / 5. ???
Would 5. be the same AGM-45 as 1. ?
I recall seeing a pic or two that the two outer missiles appeared to be slightly different, but naturally, I can't find said pics now.

Well what ever you come up with I am sure nobody will know the difference 50 years from now.
