About product

Boarding ladder for the F-105D Thunderchief in 1:72 scale

The resin set holds, according to its name, one ladder by which the crew climbs into the cockpit of the single-seat D version. It belongs among the elements that are fitted to an already built model and round out the picture of a machine on the ramp, not among the main kits.

What the accessory brings

A ladder hooked over the edge of the cockpit changes the reading of a display case at once. A static model gains a vertical line and a scale reference from which the viewer immediately judges the real size of the aircraft. The area under the cockpit can be taken further with a figure of a ground crewman or a helmet set down, and a small scene arises even without a full base.

The real subject

The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was one of the largest single-engine combat aircraft ever built. It carried its bomb load in an internal bay, reached high speeds at low level and became the main strike machine of the operations over North Vietnam. Against the older machines, the single-seat D version received a better radar and navigation equipment; the two-seat F and G variants later took over the task of suppressing air defenses. Among the crews the nickname Thud took hold.

Recommended procedure

  • Degrease the casting in a lukewarm soapy bath and let it dry thoroughly.
  • Separate the thin rungs of the ladder with a sharp scalpel, not with nippers, so that they do not snap.
  • Make the joints with cyanoacrylate glue applied in a small amount.
  • A dark base and light dry brushing along the edges bring out the metal look.
  • Glue the ladder on only once the paint and the decals on the fuselage are finished.

The accessory will be appreciated by modelers who build an aircraft as part of an airfield scene. Paints and glue are not included.

FAQ

This version is listed for the single-seat D version. For the F and G machines the brand offers a separate item with two ladders.

Right at the end, after the fuselage has been painted and the decals settled. Otherwise the small part is easily broken off during further work.

Yes. Many modelers do not fix the ladder permanently and only lean it against the fuselage when displaying the model, so that it can still be handled.
