I have posted a new feature on the F-105D built by David W. Aungst. As usual, comments are welcome in this topic.

Not as good as some of his other works I've read, but they were more technical in nature than this one. A good read, though. What is that yellow thing on the front gear? A helmet?

:-) Nice model, confirms for me that I will have to re-scribe the panel lines :-)
Tim, I actually have the detail and scale book on this, the yellow thing on the front gear is a cover over the GCA antenna, whatever that is :-)

It is a good model but....I agree not as good as some others he has done...The F-14 splinter pattern springs to mind straight away.
His pre and post shading is fantastic though.......as always.....

Thanks guys, I thought it was an unusual place for a pilot to hang his helmet.
