Harry Callahan Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Hallo Freunde Heute möchte ich Ihnen meine jüngste Arbeit mitteilen. Es ist der gut sitzende F-84F Thunderstrak von HobbyBoss. Der Grund, dieses Modell zu bauen, war, es ist sehr farbenfroh, neben der Tarnfarbe sieht man gelbe, orangefarbene und rote Teile, was ich wirklich mag, denn das macht das Modell interessant. Wie Sie sehen können, habe ich vergessen, die Platten mit den Pylonen zu mischen. Ich werde es bald überarbeiten. Es ist nicht mein Meisterwerk, aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Das Pilotprojekt stammt von PJ Production Die Aufkleber, das Bugfahrwerk und die Haupträder stammen aus dem Revell-Kit. Ich habe mich gefragt, dass ein 40 Jahre altes Bugfahrwerk besser aussieht als das eines modernen Kits.

jean Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Hi Werner, outstanding work! The paint work is top class. Congrats JR PS: is there something missing in the exhaust section? I am not a Streak specialist, but I have to ask. Great job! Edited March 16, 2019 by jean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Very nice Thunderstreak indeed. The paint finish is especially good. I really like these 50/60/70's NATO jets. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think you achieved some very believable wear and weathering! I like the F-84F in German colors! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi mates Thank you again for you kind comments, i appreciate it much. Yes very colourful right? But that was the 50th and 60th, i love the aircrafts of these era 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Hi guys Yesterday i got the idea to make a photo session at the old abandoned Luftwaffe air base of ex-JaboG 43 in Oldenburg. Hope you like the pics. I know in the 60th we didnt had HAS (Hardened Aircraft Shelter ), but i was thinking thats could be a better location than in my garden, right? As you can see, the Pitot tube on the left wing is missing, its happened at the transport to the air base................sh** Edited May 7, 2019 by Harry Callahan 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Everyone loves to see the sight of a Luftwaffe Thunderstreak with big orange painted fuel tanks and a yellow nose.It added colours to an otherwise bleaky era. (By the way i think the front gear is too far forward!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello mate Thank you for your kind words, yes your right the front gear is too far forward, i think the reason is, coz i used the Revell/Monogram part, what was not really perfect fitting, but i can live with it.
