Trumpeter 01617 1/72 F-105D Thunderchief

The F-105 was a supersonic fighter bomber developed by the Republic in 1951 to replace the F-84F. The huge body of the F-105 is mainly used to launch nuclear weapons. The prototype first flew on October 22, 1955, but the first production model, the F-105B, was not delivered to the United States Air Force until 1958. After the production of 833 F-105 series, the new F-105D all-weather attack aircraft and two-seater F-105F combat trainer aircraft were delivered to the army. The F-105G was given the nickname "wild weasel" and was specifically used to attack enemy radar and surface-to-air missile bases.
