F-105 Thunderchief Model Airplane

The F-105 Thunderchief was conceived in the 1950s as a nuclear strike aircraft, but would achieve fame in the Vietnam War as the "Thud," a conventional strike and "defense suppression" aircraft. Many different design concepts were considered, gradually evolving towards something along the lines of a "stretched" F-84F with a bomb bay for a nuclear weapon. The "Thud" was one of the fastest fighters in its time.

Enjoy this handcrafted replica of the "Thud." All details are hand painted and this piece is hand carved from solid mahogany with a clear gloss finish.
