Paolo6691 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) I can't wait! Wonderful choice of planes to kit F-102 and G.91, let's hope they will continue this way, I would love to see a F-84F/RF-84F as many here suggested. I think I was very tame suggesting a F-106 in Telford! Cheers Paolo Edited November 17, 2012 by Paolo6691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That look good, now i really want them to do an F-84F I would need about 10 of them! Julien Belgium x2, France x4, Germany x1, Greece x1, Italy x2, the Netherlands x2, United States x3 and Turkey x1 - that's just the NATO forces, have I forgotten any? So that's at least 26 they'd sell. Love that G-91! Hoping for an F-102 for Christmas/Birthday Meng are to be congratulated for their interesting subject choices, long may they continue - but with the F-84F next!

Paul J Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Excellent. I'm going to have to go for the Gina too. Re F-84/RF-84 there were NATO operators of the RFversion only, in Denmark and Norway. Further afield Nationalst China operated both versions. I know 'cos a long time ago I built models of ALL the operators in both versions using the Airfix and Italeri kits. Only some now remain with me.

John B (Sc) Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Woohoo! Fantastic! Gotta love the Gina! BTW, I always thought Frecce Tricolori G-91's had a pointy nose too - you live and learn (actually, if you look at the 5th photo down in Homebee's post you can see a pointy nosed G-91, I wonder if their initial jets had the pointy nose and then were replaced by standard nosed aircraft ). For your next subject Mr Meng, I'm with the boy Julien, please bring us a Thunderstreak! Wez I believe that is correct. The early machines were the G91PANs, which I think were pre-production or trials batch machines reworked. Later on, ex-Recce versions were used as fatigue life on the -PANs was used up, presumably.

Julien Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 France, Greece, Turkey & Italy too. V.P. Yes, was editing my post while you posted this!

Paul J Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Sorry but Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, France & Germany operated the RF-84F. Julien Yes, am aware of that but what I meant was that Denmark and Norway only operated the RF-84 and not the straight 'F' fighter variant. Everybody else operated both versions.

Paolo6691 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Quite disappointed, I doesn't seem to be at the same level of the F-102. It seems they didn't make the same effort. I hope it is only due to the pictures and I am ready to have my opinion changed upon inspection of the parts. I am also quite disappointed by the decals subjects too! At the moment I don't wish them to tackle the F-84! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I don't wish them to tackle the F-84! I'm not impressed either ! While the shape seems to be better than the revell's kit, a few things seem to show they didn't bother to check details, one for all those kind of reinforcement plates in place of the vortex generators. The kit seems to be already available in Europe for a price I'm not sure I'm happy to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 US Army maybe? thats exactly what it is.at 1 piont the us army [air corps] were thinking of buying a number of g-91s to be used in the ground support role untill the us government forced the army to relinquish all  ground support jet aircraft to be a us air force role and the army abandoned the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your next subject Mr Meng, I'm with the boy Julien, please bring us a Thunderstreak! Wez what happened was as the "pionty nose" variants became old,and due to the fact a number of them were lost in accidents they were replaced by the "snub nose" recce variants so both are correct.the g-91 that comes in the frecce tricolori 50th annaversary set has both types [i know its the revell kit reissued but the instructions do not say the "snub nose" is not to be used] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
