Amazing job on the build and description. One of my favorite aircraft of all-time. As a former USAF Crew Chief (early 90's) it's always great to see maintenance troops included in a diorama. :) "College education to break it, high school education to fix it!" One quick comment on the gravel fill for the revetment wall... Because I'm a model railroader and have a lot of experience with this. Doing a layer of glue first works fine. Diluting white glue with water 60/40 or even some rubbing alcohol is good (it evaporates quicker than the water). When you put the thicker ballast down, spray it with "wet water" (water with a drop of dish detergent in it, or even a little alcohol to break the surface tension) and that will soak into the gravel. Then use a dropper to add on 60/40 glue/water and it will soak in then harden as the water evaporates. :) I would point out that in reading both of General Yeager's books and Bud Anderson's book that Bud wasn't Yeager's "wingman", but they were both flight leads in the same squadron in WWII. Minor detail but a common misconception. Great work! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, and I'm happy to represent the ground crews, I only wish there were more figures out there for them. I have a nephew who is a mechanic in the Navy and my brother was an ordinance specialist in the Air Force, so I want to try and represent that aspect more often. I like that quote, I hadn't heard that before! You are correct about Bud and Chuck not being actual wingmen, just trying to convey that they sometimes flew together. Thanks for keeping me honest!

You can dilute the glue with isopropyl alcohol and the surface tension will go away. Its super easy to fix al the gravel like that. Model train builders use that technique instead of water. Lovely diorama my friend. New sub.

Very nice 105. Great diorama! Many don't realize how big the "Thud" was, or the very dangerous missions they had to fly for the lack of anything better. Lugging tons of iron bombs was SO NOT what it was designed for. Flying 100 ft above the deck at a susrained mach 1.2 w/the internal nuke was it's designed job.... A big bruiser of an aircraft that to this day remains one of the fastest low level jets ever. Again, nice job, and nice video!

I grew up with the F-105. My dad was an engineer on the F-105 program at Republic in the 50's at the Farmingdale Plant. Great build video. Awesome work. Not originally designed as a fighter-attack aircraft but as a low altitude nuclear bomber. Of the 833 built, 600+ were lost in combat and accident and mechanical failure in Vietnam. The only aircraft in the U.S. arsenal that was removed from service due to the high losses.

There were three hangars on Conklin Street in Farmingdale off of Route 110 that kept the hangar doors open 24/7 in 68' and you could see them working on the planes that were being repaired and upgraded for Wild Weasels.

Yes, the Wild Weasel is definitely on my list to do! I used to be really intimidated by photo etch, but I found after working with a few small PE sets, that once you get the hang of it, it because rather straight forward. I find the Eduard Profi-Packs, are a good place to start. They will usually have some photoetch, but none of it is required and its usually pretty simple. Good way to practice in my opinion!

Lovely work all round. Well done. Love the 3D printed parts. Little tip you might find useful for when you are doing groundwork/ballast/scenics- once you have applied your initial layer, to lock it in place spray with straight alcohol (any % strength but use undiluted) before trying to apply more PVA. The alcohol acts as a flow agent and will stop the glue from pooling on the surface. It allows the glue to penetrate and cover all of the scenic material. Don't add the alcohol to the glue, just lightly spray it over your scenic work and then apply the glue. Love your work though, just some damn good modelling!

Fantastic build, all the better that you've incorporated the 105 into a diorama. I've taken greater interest in Viet Nam War subjects recently (aircraft and ground vehicles, as well as a 1/35 resin PACV which I'm looking forward to building), so this really caught my eye. I too love the SEA camo scheme, I think it's one of the most attractive anywhere. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, it's great to learn a bit about the aircraft and its history. It turned out amazing! I recently built ICM's 1/48 Skymaster and decided to make a hard-stand, as the O-2A and some other small birds like the A-37 might get a bit lost on my shelf. Couldn't find any 1/48 revetment walls either so I made some to fill three sides of the base. It was a FAR more involved project than I expected, using just over 144 feet of Evergreen strip. I'd love to see 1/48 revetment walls available, I'm sure there's something available in 3D printing.
@HammerheadModelMaking
@HammerheadModelMaking Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I searched high and low looking for commercially available revetment, including within the 3D printing space with no luck. I had thought about just creating my own 3D files, but ultimately I found it easier just to build it out of styrene. Now, I wasn't making as much as you made for your diorama, so perhaps at a large scale it would be better to 3D print something.

Thanks for watching, I assume you're referring to the squares I laid down on the base, those are actually sheet plastic, but thinking about it, one could probably use the box card board for the same purpose!

There were a few that carried forward names from WW2, 'Arkansas Traveller' was another one, originally carried on a P-38 I believe, then in Vietnam on an F-4E. A few still carried on the tradition in the Gulf War too, I remember an F-15E named 'Shangri-La' and carried the red and white scroll of the original P-51. Love that hat tip to the warriors of the past. ​@@michaelbenjmitchell1
