1/72 PA149-100 Monogram Republic F-105D Thunderchief - Blue Box Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Second issue dated 1966. This is a quality kit from the modified 'Four Star' molds (see below). Features drop tanks, bombs, opening canopy, pilot figure, ground crewman and boarding ladder. Molded in green, light gray and clear. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals. This is a fine time to outline the mold changes that Monogram made on their Thud model. The Four Star issue was much closer to the very early or prototype aircraft. For the 'Blue Box' issue Monogram did a very nice upgrade. The two rear-vision windows behind the cockpit were removed, the 'spring' for the ejecting pilot was deleted, the revolving bomb bay and nuclear bomb was replaced with the new fuselage and two supersonic drop tanks and external bombs were added. The kit is molded in two colors (dark green and sky gray) and had new decals; both of which reflected the bombing role in South East Asia. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
