Just bought myself two of them today, Oh my god! Due to my limited living space, I had vowed not to do another 1/32 plane after the Phantom, but my god, this one is a must have. I am going to build a new shelf for it. This plane is a must have!

I will start building it ASAP, and post pics.

Now, commencing jealousy. LOL. Sorry guys. #:-)

So you got 2 !
he he he...
Good luck for your soon to come search for a bigger appartment !
I'd love to start working on such a model... but my appartment is realy too small (plus, I told my fiancee that I'm going to calm down on bying models, and she would spot that one in the stack).

Dave you wouldn't possibly have found the G model. I have yet to see it anywhere but online and I'mnot going to pay the higher price when it lees than $90 USD here in Japan!!! If you did get the G as well How are those SHRIKE missiles. Is anyone going to a 1/32nd EA-6B?! Congrats and I'm not jealous I might a F105G of my own soon!!! STUG

I too got a look at these beauties today at the hobby shop (Spare Time Shop, Marlboro, MA) and I will echo your sentiments WOW! The mouldings are crisp as are the very well done panel lines and engraved detail. These Thuds are HUGE! Heck, the 1/48 Monogram Thud I built many years back was the largest model I had ever built. I think I could park that thing under the wing of one of these 1/32 F-105s.

No, I didn't buy one. I'm holding out for the Trumpeter 1/32 Hun (F-100D). One of my favorite mud movers. Come on Trumpeter and move up that production line!!!! #:-)

Yes, my good bro, one in NMF, and one in Camo. I will give the camo one to a friend, since she kinda likes my model, and I think if I wanna give a gift, might as well go the whole 9 yards.
