Hey everyone, I’m working on Trumpeter’s 1:32 f-105g wild weasel and I’m on the weathering. I think I might have overdid it a little, but so far I can’t find any pics of the thing online. So does anyone have any good links of the f-105? Thanks everyone!

I tried to get weathered ones, but there were some that were abnormally clean too. I’d bet that any weathering you do will be just fine.
Wow! Thanks Maddafinga, you really saved the day! Now I know I didn’t overweather![:D]
Least I could do [:)]
Those are good links, madda. I think some of them are just in a boneyard though.
I’m building the same model, and have several links to reference photos on my site. Go to http://www.craigcentral.com/models.asp and scroll down to the F-105G reference section. There are numerous photos including a couple of walkarounds.
I don’t think that any of the pix on my links are during wartime, I think they are all post-war or after the birds have been refurbished or cleaned up. I don’t know what they looked like “On The Line” in Thailand, but I suspect they were pretty war worn since they were flying a lot of sorties. I agree with madda, I think any style of weathering that you do would reflect some phase of their history.
