Description
This book contains detailed instructions on building the F-105G 1/48 scale model aircraft from Hobby Boss. In addition to the kit's instructions, there are 3 aftermarket kits with Eduard's BIG4920 set - each with their own instruction. Can you imagine merging all of these instructions? Well, I've done that for you and more. I take the model kit instructions from Hobby Boss along with the Eduard sets and break them up into individual steps. The aftermarket steps are colored gray making them easy to skip if you just have the basic model. This book provides a little history of the Thunderchief, photos of the aftermarket kits, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 1,179 steps and 130 plus figures over 148 pages that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each step instruction shows the source (i.e., either Hobby Boss or Eduard) along with a block to mark that you completed the step. The major instruction sequence for this model is
1. Cockpit
2. Engine
3. Fuel Probe Housing
4. Gun
5. Nose Landing Gear Wheel Well
6. Fuselage
7. Canopy
8. Intake
9. Wings
10. Main Landing Gear Wheel Well
11. Tail
12. Antennas
13. Paint/Decals
14. Exhaust
15. Landing Gear
16. Horizontal Stabilizers
17. Fuel Tanks
18. Missiles
19. Radar
20. Fuel probe
21. Ladder
I provide an index of the individual sprue parts that show where in the book the part is mentioned. This index was a great way to make sure that no pieces were overlooked. Finally, there are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I hope you find this book useful.
