Trumpeter F-107

Was hoping this would be a 'quick build' project, but as you can see, it's turned into a wee bit of a putty hog. Not to worry tho' I think I've wrestled it into submission now. Next stop will be the paint shed, but not until Friday at the earliest.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Looking forward to this one Ian. Not my period but there are certain types that grab my attention

Mossie · March 28, 2011, 03:29:58 AM

Agreed, definately an attention grabber this one! I've often fancied picking one up myself, but I rarely see them on the shelf.

See what you mean about putty hog, fair bit of work needed on it for such a modern kit.

Always watch one of these...

I've got one that I fancy converting to a ventral intake (like the original scheme), but I havn't worked up the nerve yet...

My Wild Weasel F-107G is awaiting the rattle can, and then will be ready for Cosford.....Underwing fuel tanks and Shrikes.

Most interesting!

Can't wait to see what scheme you'll adorn it with!

Will be watching this too Ian,
I have one in the stash, can't decide whether to do it as SHADO aircraft with forward swept wings or an in current service US Navy/Marines bird.
Cheers,
Chris.

Hmmm,
USAF SEA?
RAF?
RCAF
RAAF?

Something completely different (Monty Python markings)?

Cliffy B · March 28, 2011, 11:58:21 AM

Hmmm....something a little different... How about a flight demonstration team?

Thunderbirds? Snowbirds? Red Arrows? Blue Angels?

(Puts on mirrored shades and assumes Appalachan accent), Gotcha'all guessin' don' I.... C'mon lil' piggies, squeal, squeal

Oh good grief

Mossie · March 28, 2011, 02:32:22 PM

I've stopped guessing with Ian's stuff, don't think I've got it right yet! Although RAF in wraparound would be nice....

Doc Yo · March 28, 2011, 02:35:30 PM

I think it would be equally attractive in FAA colors. Still haven't tackled mine, either.

comrade harps · March 29, 2011, 03:59:02 AM

Allways like the idea a F-107 naval bird - some of of back-up or alternative to the Crusader - only with less chance of swallowing a crewman.

We shall wait and see.
