This is a very
nice kit, but it has some problems, I ended up using Cutting
Edge Modelworks fuselage
set and the corrected fin rudder set. I also used the Black Box cockpit set,
I've used BB a lot In the past and they all have a bad fit, but this
one did go in very nice. The decals are from the
kit and I had a very hard time finding anything for the F-105G (you can get almost
ever thing under the sun for a D). I used MM paint. The one
thing that this kit is known for is its weak struts, I ended up using the
metal gears to replace the weak plastic ones. I drilled out the metal struts and inserted a brass rod on the base of the wheel
well and I added in some plastic for a base to fit the brass rod in doing this
it gave a nice sturdy base for the struts. I'm really happy how it came
out.
