Hello everyone Im currently building an F-84F Thunder-streak down in the 50’s NATO group build. I am building and mounting the Mk.7 Nuclear bomb that comes with the kit. I have done a good deal of research and have come across these two photo’s. ⬇️ I believe these to be concrete filled training devices ? Does anyone know if my guess is correct ? The standard Mk.7 colors for an active device should look like this example at the NMUSAF. ⬇️ I have a specific question about these variants. ⬆️ The Red/Brown color of the nose cone ? Any ideas for a match and is it fibreglass ? Any help is of course greatly appreciated. Dennis PS - i know i ask a lot of questions in burst patterns and i appreciate everyones patience.
