This is a very nice kit, but it has some problems, I ended up using Cutting Edge Modelworks fuselage set and the corrected fin rudder set.  I also used the Black Box cockpit set, I've used BB a lot In the past and they all have a bad fit, but this one did go in very nice.

The decals are from the kit and I had a very hard time finding anything for the F-105G (you can get almost ever thing under the sun for a D).  I used MM paint.  The one thing that this kit is known for is its weak struts, I ended up using the metal gears to replace the weak plastic ones.  I drilled out the metal struts and inserted a brass rod on the base of the wheel well and I added in some plastic for a base to fit the brass rod in doing this it gave a nice sturdy base for the struts. I'm really happy how it came out.
