RF-84F Thunderflash 1/48

[zebra]

Another finished group build entry, this time from the 60s NATO vs Warsaw Pact group build. Tanmodel 1/48 RF-84F Thunderflash OOB, Berna decals for an aircraft of ER 2/33 Savoie, Armee de l'Air, 1961. Quite liked the Tanmodel kit although there's room for improvement - some vague fit in places, in particular the camera parts inside the nose were fiddly and difficult to align properly, also the panel lines are inconsistent - some nice, sharp, fine detail in places, some soft detail that gets lost under paint in other places. 

 

thanks for looking

Nice model, and you've finished it well. I can see what you mean about the panel lines. I'm not familiar with Tanmodels (I'm AFV), but looking at it, it has shades of the old Matchbox trench panel lines.

Lovely work , I especially like the markings you have done her in. I think they were in the original Heller boxing of their ancient kit.
