F-105 G Wild Weasel The SAM Killer!

Another entry in the Century Series GB @ Swanny's is this Monogram 1/72 Thud Wild Weasel.

It's role: to sucker AAA radar into track mode and stick a Shrike anti radar missile right up the ole wazoo. Pretty funny :woohoo: It was developed from the fighter/bomber version of the F-105 that had nuclear delivery capability. A very solid and reliable airplane that proved itself in many roles.

I'm now at the start of the painting phase. Camo Gray on the underside, and tomorrow the start on the Tan and green topside.

Ain't sick leave fun!!! :silly: :silly: :silly:

I finished up the topside camo paint and I'm waiting for the Future to cure. Decals tomorrow.

Today's episode: CHAMPS TO THE RESCUE!
When we last saw our hero, a coat of Future was in it's overnight drying mode. The kit is of the raised panel line variety, so what better way to get those pesky decals to behave.

Here we see the decals in place and being subdued from an unruly mob of carrier, adhesive, and ink; to a well behaved water slide transfer, snuggling down tight and fast to the models surface!!

Enough melodrama........ here's the pics.

looks fine to me! :) how about some realistic weathering as next step? like large bullet holes in the fuselage and wings? :laugh:
 
No I not going to go punching any holes in my aircraft! :) And don't you go and try to either!!! They don't always fly so good with holes in them :laugh: :laugh:

Ok gang she's all finished. Despite Laura's sick fetish for punching holes in perfectly good airplanes. So here you go.

Just having some fun Laura, put the gun down. :) :)

They are just hatin' because our aircraft are not rolling around stuck in the mud with grease all over the place and the paint job all banged up and all..

Without Air Superiority there is no Armor Column, well there may be one but it won't last long. :evil:

I'm sure glad their are aerial refuelers. Technically speaking we can stay up forever.

Thanks for joining in the fun, Jenny.

Careful, someone will use that in a Viagra commercial.
 
Re:F-105 G Wild Weasel The SAM Killer! FINISHED

I like it Greg. Would take more than a few bullet holes to bring one of those monsters down. I still remember the one that came home with a Sam stuck in the side. Looked like a phone pole. Hard to believe. (y)

Cheers, Christian
