Brengun 1:144 F-105D vacuum-formed cockpit glazing is an accessory, not an aircraft model. It replaces the production canopy with a thin and clear part.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not an aircraft kit but an accessory set from the manufacturer Brengun. A vacuum-formed cockpit canopy comes about by drawing a thin transparent sheet over a mold, so it is noticeably thinner and optically cleaner than a part made by ordinary injection molding. In 1:144 scale, where a cockpit is only a few millimeters long, it is precisely the thickness of the glazing that is most visible. The set is intended for modifying a matching kit in this scale.
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was an American single-engine supersonic fighter-bomber from the 1950s. It was a large and heavy machine designed for fast flight at low altitude with a bomb bay in the fuselage and with the characteristic swept-forward leading edges of the air intakes in the wing roots. The single-seat version F-105D was given equipment for flight and attack in all weather and became the most numerously built variant of the type. The machines took a prominent part in the operations in Southeast Asia.
Vacuum-formed parts are cut out with a margin of a few millimeters, and the outline is then sanded down with fine abrasive paper laid on a flat board. Proceed slowly and take the material away in small steps, trying the fit against the fuselage as you go. Before you start, you can polish the inside of the part with plastic polish and dip it in clear coat, so that the transparency is heightened. It is glued with glazing adhesive that does not fog, or with thin cyanoacrylate applied with the tip of a wire. Before spraying the frames, mask the glazing with thin tape or with liquid mask.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and is not a standalone model. It is intended for modifying a matching kit in 1:144 scale.
