An EF-105F that’s right. At this scale it’s a simple matter of leaving off the side mounted ECM pods. I believe most of the differences are internal and mostly to do with electronics and the ability to carry the AGM-78.
I’ve got the Trumpeter G for when I do want to build that version.
Ok, silver for the air intakes and wheel bays
Thanks, appreciate it.
Interesting solution for the screens, Stephen. It came out very realistic and the cockpit looks great so far! 
I think depending on the year you can paint them white too but dont take my word for granted, have not researched F105 details that much
Thanks, they do look good now they’ve dried. Just something I noticed looking at photos. Powered down they seemed to be strange dark orange colour. Green looks better for later CRT and of course modern LCD/LED screens would be black.
That’s going to be a good one!
Got the F-105’s seats painted up today. These are really nicely detailed parts oob.
Hoping to have the cockpit installed and fuselage buttoned up over the next few days.
Those seats look good.
The trumpeter ones leave quite a bit to be desired.
Thanks. The detail on this kit is really nice. I might have to keep my eyes open for more vintage Monogram if this is anything to go by.
I did make a comparison with the Trumpeter G in my stash and yes it is a little simpler in places. Even the opened gun bay ends up looking toy like. But, has a few nice things like the double Shrike pylons and QRC-160 ECM pods. An item I’ve needed for a long time to do an Operation Bolo F-4.
Bit behind schedule because of real life, but got the cockpit fitted into one fuselage side today.
And wings assembled.
Tomorrow’s plan, fit some weight in the nose (I expect it will need a fair bit!) and close up the fuselage.
Looking good.
I expect my Thud will also require nose weight, but not sure how much. I don’t want to overstress the gear.
I think that will be the trick. It’s a BIG jet with stalky legs!
I agree, and that is one of the reasons I have refrained from buying the Trumpeter 1/32 kit. The landing gear needs to be replaced with sturdy metal gear because the plastic ones will not hold the weight.
Nice work thus far 
Thanks.
At that scale it definitely needs something stronger than plastic. I know a company called SAC does a lot of white metal gear, not sure if they’ve done any for the 1/32 105 yet though?
Looking for reference on the the F-4G cockpit. Photo walkarounds and similar. I am particularly interested in the cockpit sidewall details.
I have found these great videos:

I am in, would an Ukrainian MIG-29 with the HARM missiles work? Not dedicated SAM suppression aircraft, but used in that role. If not, no problem. I have plenty of of other candidates. 
Not a problem, welcome aboard.
The recent ICM kit?
