The raised panel detailing has turned out to be more of a hassle than predicted. I tried several different washes (Vallejo, Tamiya, Flory's, and a homemade batch [water, pastels, and dish soap] with no real success. I just wasn't happy with the look. I tried a water color pencil and Tamiya Weathering Master. Seems like that's a good recipe for raised panel lines. Still doing it over gloss so corrections can be made relatively easily. Anyone else have a technique that worked for them for raised panel line detailing?

Found one of these at Walmart.com for less than US $22!! That was with free shipping! Thought I would put that out there.

Yeah, I picked one of these up last year. As far as I know, this is the first time the Thunderstick II mod has been kitted by Revell; I've been buying Monogram/Revell F-105's for 35 years now, and this is the first time I've seen the T-Stick II mod. I'm assuming Revell of Germany had some something to do with it, because it required all-new moldings for the two fuselage halves (although everything else looks the same).

Yes, relatively new for Revell.

Does this kit have a new fuselage? The older F-105 kits did not have the dorsal spine. According to Revell:

When the F-105 Thunderchief entered service in 1958, it was the heaviest single-engine combat aircraft. Today, the F-105 remains history's heftiest fighter, weighing close to 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg). It also packed a heavy punch-up to 14,000 lb of ordnance. Despite its weight, the F-105 could still achieve Mach 2 speeds. The Thunderstick II variant was equipped with and upgraded radar and target acquisition set that allowed it to bomb from 15,000 feet with incredible accuracy. This kit features a detailed cockpit with pilot figure and waterslide decals.

Go to the Scalemates page for this kit, scroll down and you'll see two reviews. The one from Model Kits Review has full sprue shots. It looks to me like Revell modified the Monogram tooling.
