Omask 74851 F-105 Thunderchief wheel bay plugs (for Hobby Boss 80332, 80333 ) 1/48

The Omask 74851 plug set is designed specifically for modelers building the famous American fighter-bomber F-105 Thunderchief in 1/48 scale, based on the Hobby Boss releases numbered 80332 and 80333. This product is dedicated to high-quality plastic models, providing precise protection of the wheel bays during painting for a professional end result.

The plugs are made from flexible, paint-resistant foam with the highest precision cuts. As a result, they fit perfectly into the shape of the F-105 landing gear bays, eliminating the risk of paint or dust leaks during airbrushing. Omask 74851 allows for repeated use and does not damage details, thanks to its delicate yet durable material structure. Installation is extremely simple — the plugs are gently inserted into the wheel bays, securing them during the application of primers, main colors, or even protective coats.

The F-105 Thunderchief formed the backbone of the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. This fighter-bomber jet was used by the USA from 1958 to 1984, mainly in strike missions, including electronic warfare and nuclear attacks. Models dedicated to this aircraft are highly popular among military modelers as well as enthusiasts of 20th-century aviation.
