Republic F-105D Thunderchief

I'm finally back after a year.


An F-104 is on the way, and I'm currently trying to improve it. I tried to make this plane as accurate as possible whilst being fun to fly; I hope I achieved my goal.

The Republic F-105D Thunderchief was a nuclear-capable strike fighter developed and used during the Vietnam War. Though it has a bomb bay, it was never fitted with the nuclear weapons it was designed to carry, but it did have 5 external hardpoints for carrying air-to-ground weaponry, while the outer 2 were additionally designed to carry air-to-air AIM-9 missiles.
