    I agree. I have them both as well and I’m much liking the lower parts count. I taped mine together though andid say watch that wing to fuselage join.

    Awesome looking build, Krow. I actually like their Hurri better than the Fly kit.

    My canopy of the 190 is cracked and I’ve been trying without success to get a replacement from Loic.

    They are excellent kits if you’re willing to go slow and fit stuff together. I’m half way through a short nose 190 and it takes a fair bit of sanding and fitting, but it’s a super accurate looking machine

    Sounds like lacquer, the way it stinks, Tony

    I've used Alclad and have had really decent results, but yeah, it's fragile. I'd like to try AK Extreme Metals and see how they work... As an aside, I used Mission Models Paint for the NMF on my Lanc, and absolutely LOVED it. It's water based, you apply it over a white finish, and looks phenomenal when done. I find it looks more realistic than some of the Over-The-Top-Shiny products like Alclad. A nice semi matte sheen to it.

    Holy Schnakkers, Batman! What a project. Krow, you're kicking proverbial arse, man....

    Oui, c’est normal.

    I Yes, it looks like there ARE drastic differences between the two. Apparently, the F rear panel was a virtual duplicate of the front because it was used as a trainer. But,... the EF-105F wasset up as an ECM bird so the rear pit should be closer to that of the G? F on top, G on the bottom in color Hmmmmmmm

    Mark, I forgot about this on Cybermodeler. https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f-105/f-105_pit.shtml

    Tony, that’s the only picture I’ve ever seen of a depressed refueling door. I’m sure it’s just not quite closed, because if you notice, both the refueling probe for the drogue and the recessed door for the flying boom receptacle are slightly open. And yes, if you look at the kit plastic, that hole is represented on the kit as a depressed circular area, much like an ejector pin mark.

    I haven’t found any pics at all of the F rear pit, Mark. I’m certain it’s less advanced as the G, but who knows for sure? But,.. the search continues.

    Uncle Boris says. Pfffft.

    One thing guys, Trumpeter’s attention to detail,.... isn’t. The vents below the refueling probe are just depressions on the Trumpy Kit. Drill out Theron d one and install a pipe, and openthe vent on the other one. . Go over the entire aircraft and compare to pictures. Much is missing or incorrectly depicted on the kit. A bit of work now gives huge rewards later.

    Speaking of Sci Fi. This sort of dio is one I always wanted to do,.. It’s just so different and cool.
  16. Clunkmeister
    Thinking this would make cool diorama

    The kit's nose looks way, way to long and pointed.
  18. Clunkmeister
    amazing! just... WOW

    Tony, I learned the "assemble the basic airframe and make all corrections ahead of time" trick from you. Doing the same thing on my Thud. It's one seriously HUGE model.

    Carl, that top pic is how I envision John's stash. NICE STASH!
  21. Clunkmeister
    I don’t either, Carl. Case in point: on the starboard side, notice the extra line of Milliput trailing the lower edge of the big panel? Yep, I drilled to the next panel line back and showed my true schlemiel.
  22. Clunkmeister
    Well we achieved our weekend goals, and with time to spare. The corrected fin and nose really help correct the look of Trumpeter’s mess. Now, out with the Dremel and start drilling out vents and cooling slots.
  23. Clunkmeister
    Thanks, Tony. Then I won’t be at all conservative here. If it goes all pear shaped, I’ll call y’all. But it looks somewhat a simple fabrication. The trick will be to make both exactly the same.
  24. Clunkmeister
    We need to make the ramp and it’s track. This should be a relatively straightforward exercise. I now see why so many folks use FOD Covers.
  25. Clunkmeister
    Another area that’s gonna need serious help are the intakes. Simply put, they are pure fiction. The ENTIRE ramp assemblies are completely MIA, matter of fact, it’s like absolutely zero attemp was made at trying to even vaguely represent them. Also, there are no ducts inside the fuselage at all, nor is there any compressor behind the stator on the engine face. I guess maybe Trumpeter thought this was powered by a ramjet, not a turbojet? Turbojets need a compressor, and we’re gonna have to make one. Oh yay.
