I recently got a substantial "store credit" from an online seller for some damaged items I received, and though I'm not a modern AC collector I've always been a fan of the "Century Series" of US jets, especially the F-105 "Thud", and based on a recommendation from one of our members (thanks Jack ) I decided to use my credit to pick up this Hobby Master 1/72 Thunderchief. The AC represents an F-105D of the 6441st Tactical Fighter Wing, Takhli Thailand, 1965. I like the natural metal finish on this Cold Warrior, but this is a such a nice model I may eventually get one of the SEA camo versions. Hope you guys like the pics. Click to enlarge...
