Booty003 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 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 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Nice work, the poor old Thunderstreak is either ignored or subject of ancient kits in 1/72nd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo1112 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) 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.

stevehnz Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Nice going on that one Phil, I've just tracked down the Italeri one of these & some decals for a camo'd Belgian one, so I'd day an announcement on a new tooled one should be due.

Trenton guy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Great F-84 and even greater collection. Most of them are on my to do list in exactly the schemes you have chosen-inspirational! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Kits for cash have one for £6 at the moment. Have one of them unbuilt in the stash. Unfortunately no Thunderflash, as I missed the re-release of the kit several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albamac Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 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. albamac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Love this collection! Nice to see a Canberra in there. I'm trying to get to grips with a B57 in bare metal. I do think you need an f101 voodoo on the team!👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
