Thank you guys so much! I realized that the pictures and lightning have a worse quality than I initially thought. Not sure if the website also compresses the pictures or not.
About the kit: it generally has a very good fit and I haven't read anything about overall shape issues. There are nonetheless smaller problems:
1. The ventral fin (underside) is terribly thick and just wrong. I replaced it with the resin part from Quickboost.
2. All of those "rivets" or screws are signifficantly oversized and annoying as hell. They have the size of tennis balls and to be honest one should be careful with dark washes not to make them look even bigger than they are.I know some people tried to cover them with putty but that's a lot of effort, which I wasn't keen on doing.
3. There is an unexplainable gap between the fuselage halfs and the cockpit itself. With other words, when assembled, you have large gaps on both sides of the cockpit.
4. There are no transparent parts for the wing position lights. There are aftermarket replacements which unfortunately I didn't buy, but I do advise trying them, since painted plastic for this size is just ugly. I might do replace them at some point maybe.
5. There are no instructions where to put all the decals for weapons and weapon pylons, but you can check the online instructions from Trumpeter's F-105 at 1:48.

Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate all the positive feedback. I reduced the brightness of all pictured and reuploaded all of them once more. Now they are no longer "burning" the eye. I failed with the lightening this time, sorry.

Awesome result, Marius! I really like the camo. 🙂
What's with the aircraft's nozzles? Never seen something like this before. I think I need to read a bit about the F-105.

I cannot say with certainty how exactly those nozzles were functioning. Interesstingly enough, there are no obviously visible actuators for the nozzles. So they are maybe somehow downsizes and implemented inside the structure at the hinges (?). Considering the loads, I can imagine that is quite a stressed area. Regarding how they were used, I can of course imagine that they could easily be deployed as aerodynamic brakes in addition to any engine thrust regulation. But somebody that knows more can maybe shed some light on the topic.
