1/72 F-84F Thunderstreak


Recommended Posts

Here is an old school F-84F (Italeri or Revell maybe...?? box has been binned).

I have a collection of early jet diecast aircraft and wanted to fill some of the gaps in my collection with plastic where necessary.

As no F-84F exists in 1/72 diecast I built this old thing.

Detail is to be expected from such and old mould and as I wanted to depict a USAF aircraft I use decals from the spares box.

Nice straightforward build with no major problems and another one ticked off the list.

The last 2 photos show the rest of my USAF early jet collection.

Cheers all,

Phil

A very interesting collection you have there!

I don't like modern jets that much, but the American jets from the late 40,

the 50s and the 60s are truly fantastic/

An amazing work you did with that "oldy"

Congratulations. Polo.

Hi Phil!

Great looking F-84F and a very nice early jets collection! Unfortunately both Italeri kits (Thunderstreak and Thunderflash) are difficult to find meanwhile and quite expensive.

Cheers,

Mario

Kits for cash have one for £6 at the moment.

Hi Phil,

A marvellous collection of USAF airyplanes before they started slapping camouflage paint on some of them. In do like the F100 Super Sabre for it's eye catching scheme. The F84F I like too because of it's shape and I built one a few years ago with some additional bits in the Belgian Air Force camo. scheme. DACO had a great decal sheet and it made a big difference with some colourful markings. I just wish I had the space. Keep up the great work mate.
