F-105 Thunderchief

The basic concept behind Century Jet Models’ F-105 “Thunderchief” kit was to make it a “fast build” kit for those of you who want to fly ducted fan, electric ducted fan, or turbine jet aircraft.
The CJM F-105 single seat “D” and two seat “F” versions have been engineered using today’s technology and building techniques. Computer designed intakes increases the performance of the aircraft. The Thud is a rock solid performer using any five-inch fan unit. or small turbine. Don’t let the short wings and long fuselage fool you. This standoff scale model is one of the best performing and easiest flying models on the market. It will make you the Ace at your flying site.
The F-105 two piece fuselage is epoxy-glass with additional seam tape for lightweight reinforcement. It comes pre-primed for fast and easy painting. Panel lines, Vulcan gun, gun exhaust ducts, landing gear wheel well, plus much more are molded in the fuselage. The wing panels come pre-sheeted and attaches to the fuselage using our heavy duty, plug-in spar system. The stabilators use double ball bearings to give positive and precise flight control deflection. All major plywood parts are laser cut.
We used our Centurion landing gear with stainless steel oleo struts for the main landing gear that will give you the tall “Thud” look.
Our basic kit includes a 2 piece fuselage (choice or single “D” or two seat “F” version jet), pre-sheeted foam wings, plug-in wing spars, foam vertical and horizontal stabs, stab control mechanism, instructions, plans, canopy, and pre-molded engine hatch, intakes. Customize the basic kit by selecting those options to finish your kit.
