Hobby Master or Century Wings are the best bets to try a diecast 1:72nd scale F-105, but don't hold your breath waiting. Model Power has promised the F-105 for this year , though it will probably show up in 2009 and be in 1:100th scale with much less detail than true collectors prefer. And then, there are the folks at MRC, with their Easy Model assembled plastic kit line (1:72). The F-105 didn't make their hugely expanded list for 2008, but there's always a possibility for 2009-------or 2010------or.

I guess i'll keep waiting, I hope HM or CW makes it, that way it will be worth the wait.

So..... then begs the question what type do you like and what colour would be your fav to see it in??

[rarmenda]

The F-105D, with green and tan camo. I think this one is the most iconic of the ones who flew in Vietnam.

[tank nut]

Yup .. would you like the two seat or single seat one?? I like them both myself, the one I seen down In ct was a single seater and man those birds were big !!! Very long airplane for sure.

[rarmenda]

Single seat would be my first choice. It doesnt matter if it comes in 1/48 or 1/72 scale. I would love to have one to put next to my FM 1/48 Vietnam Mig -17.

Ok here is a question. Is anyone going to make a MIG-31 in any scale diecast? Am I the only one who asks this question. I dont know if this has been posted before,but it would be nice.

This is a F-105 thread, but I wouldn't mind having both. Witty is probably the best bet for MiG.

Yeah, I bet Witty will be the one to spit out a MiG-31 first!

Ooooh yes ! It's a masterpiece. Probably the best book written about modern aviation at war.
