mark31 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 So after my Tornado the next on the table. Im redding a book at the moment and that got me realy in for this build. Plan will be a Vietnam dio. The kit is the trumpeter A few books. A lot off after market. Also a verry big thanks to @biggtimfor the great help about the revetment walls. He sent me the file so i can print them at home. So first batch donestill on the build plate. A bit off process before we can build. Very impressie with the detail So i have to bild a part just to look how big it is. With a big jar tamiya paint. I sill need more walls to print but you well get the picture. Mark 12
Peterpools Posted May 11 Posted May 11 Mark Awesome start and I paid extra admission for a front and center seat; The 3D printed revetment walls look spot on the money. 1 2
mark31 Posted May 12 Author Posted May 12 Just a bit off tape and thinking on the display I think i will go for somthing like this. Only one wall Mark 9
mark31 Posted May 13 Author Posted May 13 How hard can you go with after market. I also have a pit from Aires. So why dondt try to fit the quinta set on the Aires pit. With a bit off trimmen Now much better floor and other details than the pit from the box. Mark 6
Peterpools Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Mark Looking mighty good and so glad you tailored the Quinta cockpit set onto the Aires set. 2 1
scott_t Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Looks good so far Mark ! I am pulling together the pieces for a Trumpy F-105 myself, but it will be an F-105F with Cutting Edge decals. ResKit has some great looking pieces such as pylons and weapons, replacement tail fin and other stuff. Now, they are doing an "all in one" upgrade which includes the intakes, main wheel bays, nose gear bay, and landing gear. So, I will wait for that before getting started. Watching you build closely ! -Scott 3 1

Looking forward to your F conversion Mark 4
mark31 Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 front part side consoles done. going for the rear tomorow. Mark 6
scott_t Posted May 17 Posted May 17 I like what you are doing with the cockpit Mark. I am going to go a similar route with my F-model build. The F-model looks very similar to the D in the front cockpit and the rear looks close to a D model. I just ordered an Aires G pit and 2 D-model Quinta sets. It will be fun to bash them together. Happy Modeling !!!! Scott 4
mark31 Posted May 17 Author Posted May 17 a few hours off fun with the pit still not done now thats it. Any one a idee about color for the wheelbays? Instructions cal out for zinc chromate green. but i have found pics where the are light grey white and some are silver . Thanks Mark 5
mark31 Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 Time for good news and bad news Good news Feuselage closed without problems. And tail Fin on . Bad news. The rudder is to small on the bottom i have a big gap so i gave sent a email to reskit with the pic so i hope its just a bad part and the can send me a replacement. this is the real one. So now i wait but still other things to do on the thud Mark 4
Peterpools Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Mark Nice to see no issues at all in closing up the fuselage. Looking mighty good. 1
mark31 Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 So reskit is sending a replacment part so no preblem there. New color on the F-105 when cleaning up first wheelbay in place after a lot off sanding on the aires part Going for the next wing. Mark 3
Peterpools Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Mark So glad Reskit is sending you the replacement rudder. Nice work on the Aires gear bay - looks tremendous and the detail is amazing. 1
mark31 Posted June 21 Author Posted June 21 (edited) Time to do some work on the agm-78 These are from reskit. And pylons thats it reskit didt a awsome job. Mark Edited June 21 by mark31 3
Peterpools Posted June 22 Posted June 22 Mark Nice work on the AGM-78 and pylon. I find it amazing how you work with such delicate parts - I just managed to ruin my 3D printed ejection seat rails and learned a very valuable lesson on how to treat parts so extra carefully.
