First glance at the first photo and I thought it was a real plane. Beautifully done.

Really nice work! The metal finish is excellent, and I'm especially impressed with how crisp the canopy frame is

Which metal color did you use on this one?  Vallejo airbrush aluminum metallic? 

Vallejo Metal Color 77.701 Aluminium and 77.702 Duraluminium.

very nice!

 

since I built a Thunderjet in Yugoslav Airforce colors, I kind of have a soft spot for this design!

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?  😀

Yeah, sorry - the WIP thread is bit of a mess :P I painted the 1:48 black first in preparation for the metal and then the OD anti glare stripe on top - so it kinda looked like a camo paint job for a while :D

Superb reini.  You accurately show off the F-84`s toughness with it posed on the “rough field airstrip” 😉 :yes:

 

Very nice as usual.

No problem!  Thanks for the clarification. 😀
