The F-105G was the final variant of the F-105 Thunderchief to participate in the Vietnam War. A twin seater specially modified and equipped for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses missions, these 'Wild Weasels' played a vital role in the air war over Vietnam. Based in Thailand they operated until the final stages of the conflict.
I have this ye olde Monogram kit (on first glance all the pieces are there) that I thought I would have a crack at for this GB. Decals look ok - but I never trust a good looking decal. Revell copy instructions will suffice.
Excellent choice!. I Have the same model in my stash and was planning to use it for this group build but unfortunately it looks as if I'll be sitting this one out.
Great choice.
I'd considered either one of these, a Skyraider or a Phantom, but I'll be sitting out this GB, as I have too many other projects to finish first.
