aka the Thud.
Mini-Planes were a sort of Matchbox for Planes although they were made out of plastic instead of metal. Like Matchbox cars they tended to all be roughly the same size so they were made in a multitude of scales. This is not uncommon with toys. The rule for toys was they could be in different scales but each individual toy must be in scale with itself. Each Mini-Plane had moving parts and with this one is that it has retractable landing gear. This one came with the wrong box, it is the box for the Mirage. But I didn't have that box so for $5 it was all good.
The F-105 got its nickname of Thud due to the high loss rate.
