Bob Hunt F-105 wing area?
Steve Fitton:
Anybody know how many squares Bob Hunt's F-105 model was?
Bill Little:
Hi Steve,
Looking over the plans, it appears to have a few more squares than the Genesis I. I have not read the article lately. Unless I am going blind, it is an inline design or very close to it.
Did you find a picture of a yellow F-105?
Bill
Steve Fitton:
Nope, a Thud cannot be yellow. n1
However, I have a Hasegawa 1/72 scale F-105B with the New Jersey ANG Spirit of '76 paint job. I was just barely old enough to remember seeing the Thuds fly at McGuire in the late 70s early 80s, so if I ever did a Thud it would be NJ ANG. The plastic kit is a good reference.
At the moment its mostly a thought experiment for what of my available engines would be a good match.
Trostle:
From the magazine plans (FM, May 73) The area of the Bob Hunt F105 scales to about 650 sq in. This is probably within +/- 10 or 15 sq in of the actual area.

Steve.. I flew in the NJ ANG at the transition from F-105's to F-4's.. 141st TFS, 108th TFW I was an F-4 Jock.. Those old Thuds were spectacular airplanes.. They were the oldest flying 105's at the time. B models..
