SAT69 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 First glance at the first photo and I thought it was a real plane. Beautifully done. 1
theaa2000 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Really nice work! The metal finish is excellent, and I'm especially impressed with how crisp the canopy frame is 1
PlaStix Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Hi reini. I hope you are well. That really is a superb looking Thunderjet!! Awesome modelling, painting and weathering! Kind regards, Stix 1

exdraken Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 very nice! since I built a Thunderjet in Yugoslav Airforce colors, I kind of have a soft spot for this design! 1
Gary Brantley Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 I am a bit confused...in the WIP thread, it seemed as though the larger scale plane was in the camo finish. Am I just missing something reini? 😀 1

Sky Keg Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Superb reini. You accurately show off the F-84`s toughness with it posed on the “rough field airstrip” 😉 Very nice as usual. Mike 1

Thanks for the clarification. 😀
