    Looks good and I am looking forward to building it, only problem will be where to display it when done, it’s a bit big :surprised:

    Geoff.
    Built this kit. Needs a bit of work but nothing very challenging. And it is a big bird when put together. I have two more in the stash.
    On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
    Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
    Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

        I needed paint (see bottom of the picture) for a couple of models, including my LWS, and as I still have the F-107 that I want to build as an in-service example, I decided it would be simpler and cheaper to buy an F-105 for its decals than to track down a set of decals for that … Also some Sherman wheels because I ran out of the solid type recently, and some set of ammo boxes that will no doubt come in handy at various points

          Now that's what I call clever thinking.

            Part of it was that sets of decals with F-105 markings seem to be almost impossible to find, but even if you do find them, a set might end up costing about as much as I paid for this kit in the first place and leave me with plenty more decals I’d never use because even if I would buy an F-105 kit afterward, it would come with decals anyway too So, this gives me both decals to use on the what-if F-107 and an F-105 to be built as well …

                Should be an interesting build, esp as I have now more than enough photos of the one I intend to copy .

                      I've been looking at these, ever since they were released last year. The original Airfix model was changing hands at rich collectors prices & the new AZ model never seemed to dip below the £20 mark. After nearly a year of lurking on ebay, I got this..............

                        I thought it was an F-104 Starfighter at first … then I looked at the main part of the fuselage and realised it couldn’t be

                            You clearly have more patience than I do Dave. I think I would have given it up as a bad job!! Well done.

                                Just come back from a local model shop……Signal models in Midsomer Norton. It’s about 18 miles away from where I live, but there is free parking so that’s a bonus. Not a bad shop at all, good varied selection, obviously skewed towards model railways (hence the name), but worth a visit if you are out that way. I managed to snag this…..
