F-84E

[Silver Fox]

Another fifties aircraft, I seem to have built a few of these lately. This one is the Revell/Monogram boxing of the F-84E, which as far as I know has never been issued in Europe by Revell.

It is a really nice kit and I think a better fit than the Tamiya equivilent.

I got the kit second hand and the decal were shot so I used an old Aeromaster Sheet to do an aircraft of the 22nd FBS, 36th FBW based at Bitburg in 1951. The machine sadly crashed and the pilot lost his life in 1952.

FS-229 was transfered to the Skyblazers aerobatic team later in 1951 then released and reissued to the 36th FBW. Aeromaster also do a sheet with the scheme she wore on her return before the fatal crash.

Thanks for looking.
