F-105D ''Thunderchief'', 1/72 - Trumpeter 01617

The assembly model F-105D « Thunderchief » from Trumpeter, reference 01617, reproduces at scale 1/72 the American fighter-bomber Republic F-105D.

Nicknamed « Thud », the F-105 Thunderchief was a single-seat jet aircraft designed for attack missions. The F-105D version especially marked the history of the US Air Force during the Vietnam War, where it was used for tactical bombing missions.

At scale 1/72, this plastic kit lets you create a compact representation of this iconic piece of American military aviation from the Cold War era. Assembly and finishing use standard static model-making techniques: preparing the parts, gluing, painting, and applying decals.

Availability scheduled for September 2026.
