Hi, Finally came round to posting 1/48 Tanmodel RF-84 Thunderflash in the RFI section. A nice kit but not without challenges. Please see also the WIP thread of this model. Airbrushed with AK Xtreme metal polished Aluminium and a flory dark brown dirt wash. Red and black Mr Color paints and some brushed highlights with revell aqua color. Decals by DutchDecal which adhered quite nicely. Despite the kit at times being little fiddly............ I can't wait for Tanmodel's 1/48 buccaneer when hopefully at some point (if ever) it will be on the web-shelves. Hope you like it. Did notice a few glitches myself, so critique is welcome too. Would quite like to do a Belgian or a RNLAF camouflaged version another time. That's all, thanks for watching.

Republic RF-84F Thunderflash 1:48 TanModel Version 2 We first reviewed this excellent new kit from Tan Model here back in January. The plastic in this version is almost identical, however the guys at Tanmodel have listened to feedback and made some changes from the original boxing. A new extensive decal sheet has been printed by Cartograf in Italy with input from Dutch Decal, Daco, Mr. Kim Zimmerman and Mr. Jens Jensen. Given the extensive glazing of the RF-84 Tanmodel has now added a masking set. In addition there have been minor corrections to a few parts and a re-polishing of the moulds. There have been some corrections to the instruction sheets (numbering issues) and owners of the original kit can download the corrected instructions here if needed. The little extra of a mouse mat and poster included in the first boxing are not now included. Decals The new expansive decal sheet is printed by Cartograf and is upto their usual excellent quality. There are 7 options on the new sheet; 53-7571 KA-E No.729 Sqn. Kastrup Airbase Royal Danish A.F. Denmark 1958 FR-27, 42e Smaldeel, Bierset Airbase. Belgian A.F. Belgium 1970 FR-34, 42e Smaldeel, Bierset Airbase. Belgian A.F. Belgium July 1971 Adieu a Toi Petit Dernier with farewell badge. 51-17056, AZ-O No.717 Sqn. Rygge Airbase. Royal Norwegian A.F. Norway 1956 52-7367, 171st Tact. Rec. Sqn. Detroit Airbase. USAF Michigan National Guard US 1968 53-7566, 33-TJ ER 3/33 Moselle. Cognac Airbase. Armee de lAir France 1956 7450, 1. Havaussu 114. Taktik Jet Kesif Filosu, Eskisehir, Turk Hava Kuvvetleri Turkey 1956-1972 arasi Conclusion The original kit from Tanmodel was eagerly waited and we were not disappointed. This new tweaked boxing has improved the original and shown a model company willing to listen which we can all approve of. The inclusion of masks for the glazing is a great touch. Highly recommended.
