exdraken Posted June 15, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted June 15, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I just missing something reini? 😀 Yeah, sorry - the WIP thread is bit of a mess 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted June 16, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
