Sierra Hotel! Hope they also do the T-Stick II.
Exciting news! I had a buddy who was a weapons system tech on the 105 at Takhli. He worked with the T-stick system, too. I’ll build one of these in honor of Chuck.
So what is the general opinion of their kits,i haven’t heard of them,but this would be interesting.
There’s one at FWAM. If it looks good in 1/48 I’ll have to get one.
A 1/48 B is long overdue! I would definitely want one of those! And hopefully they will do an early D without all the later fittings that were added due to combat experience in Vietnam.
Agreed!
A well-detailed 1/72 F-105D is long overdue, hopefully it will retire the Trumpeter version. While the Revell version was excellent, raised panel lines show the kits age.
Just like the 1/48 kits. I’ve built the Monogram G, and have their D, F, and Thunderstick II D in my stash.
A beautiful new 1/48th Thud D Veitnam era, not post, hopefully can’t wait to give them my money!!
I went to the company’s website and saw that they also have a 1/48 Grumman F11F Tiger coming out… that is one long overlooked. If their stuff is not outrageously priced, they’re going be getting some of my money… ![]()
Planning on putting it next to your MiG-17?
Yes along with a couple of Skyraiders, a scooter, Intruder and an Invader. I have a thing for Veitnam era bomb trucks ![]()
