This is the F-105F Thunderchief "Peach 91" 63-8299 128th TFS Dobbins 24 June 1983 in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The F‑105F Thunderchief “Peach 91” (s/n 63‑8299) of the Georgia ANG’s 128th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Dobbins AFB made its final USAF flight on May 25, 1983, marking the end of an era for ANG-operated Thuds. Uniquely painted for its farewell—sporting a Southeast Asia camouflage with a peach emblem and “Peach 91” callsign—it served in the Wild Weasel role (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses), carrying the iconic shark-mouth nose art that symbolized its SEAD mission. As one of the largest and most heavily armed single-engine jets of its time, “Peach 91” combined raw speed, heavy ordnance capability, and electronic warfare prowess—making it a formidable adversary to air defenses and a distinctive pioneer in fighter-bomber evolution.
