About product

Republic F-105D Thunderchief (1:32, Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American supersonic fighter-bomber Republic F-105D Thunderchief in the large scale of 1:32 from the manufacturer Trumpeter. It is a sizable model matching the size of the real subject - it contains a detailed cockpit, landing gear bays and options of underwing stores. Check the exact contents of the package and the number of marking options in the manufacturer's instructions.

The real subject

The F-105 Thunderchief, nicknamed the Thud, was a single-engined fighter-bomber of the US Air Force. The F-105D version was the all-weather variant equipped with radar for strikes in any weather. It was one of the largest single-engined combat aircraft of its day and during the Vietnam War it bore the main weight of the strikes against North Vietnamese targets. It could carry an extensive load of bombs and rockets and it also had an internal cannon.

Building and painting tips

Paint the detailed cockpit and the landing gear bays before the airframe is closed up. Mask the clear canopy and glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic. Apply a primer and the paints with an airbrush - for the schemes of the Vietnam War a three-color camouflage and the shine of bare metal are both suitable. Add the underwing stores only at the end and bring out the panel lines with a wash. On large sets Trumpeter often supplies rubber tires and small photo-etched parts to refine the detail; the tires can be replaced by resin ones for a more accurate shape.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of jet equipment in a large scale
  • Anyone interested in the aircraft of the Vietnam War
  • More advanced modelers who will appreciate a sizable model in 1:32
  • Suitable as a striking centerpiece of a modeling display cabinet in a large scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
