Revell: 1/72 F-105G Thunderbird (Wild Weasel) – Model Kit

Detailed 1/48 scale model kit of the Republic F-105 Thunderchief, a supersonic fighter-bomber used extensively by the United States Air Force for bombing missions over North Vietnam during the early stages of the Vietnam War. Introduced in 1958 and commonly called the “Thud” by its crews, the F-105 was originally designed as a high-speed low-level bomber capable of carrying a single nuclear bomb in its internal bomb bay. Fortunately, the F-105's nuclear strike capability was never realized, but the “Thud” did evolve into a effective strike-bomber during the Vietnam War. A two-seat Wild Weasel F-105 variant was later developed for use in the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. Over 800 F-105s were produced and the type remained in service until the mid 1980's.
