Carter & Crowley's F-105 pilot is surely designed to accompany Trumpeter's 1/32 scale Thud. Cast in beige resin, the kit consists of a 3-part figure, plus a base.
The pilot is in a casual pose, dressed in a flight gear and parachute, carrying his helmet, which includes a neatly cast oxygen mask tucked inside. Details of the uniform and equipment are nicely done. Some clean-up will be needed where the casting blocks are removed, and the fit of the arms to the body is ok, but some trimming and filler will be needed.
A helpful set of painting instructions is included, but builders will do well to refer to photos to really make the most of the detail provided. This is a simple kit, but one which will compliment any 60's USAF aircraft in this scale.
Thank you to MMD-Squadron for kindly supplying the review sample.
