Description
I just can't help myself.
This is a Monogram "Thud" model. It was released in 1988 as part of their series of aircraft models related to the new TV series "Tour of Duty". It's not the first time I've seen this model. My dad got the same one back then (he never painted it, just assembled). I decided to get one and see how well I could do.
The kit assembled nicely (though I did goof a couple things). The hard part is the decals on the underside. They're in multiple pieces to fit around and on the landing gear doors. Even though the model was over 30 years old, the decals were nice and crisp (a little too much glue on them though).
This is the first time I've painted and decaled a model per the instructions in a long time.
Here's a pic' I took of the 105 that's on display at Forbes Field in Topeka:
