169th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Peoria Illinois May 1969.


Recommended Posts

        Hello everybody … Id like to present to you my 1/48 Monogram F-84F Thunderstreak. This was built for the Classic Revellogram build down in the group build section.  I have built in the South East Asian camouflage pattern worn by the USAF. The plane represents the final use by the Illinois’ 169th T.F.S.. They're still based out of Peoria Illinois but currently operate C-130 transports. I have given it an asymmetrical load-out of an Mk.117 and an BLU-27 napalm canister. Not a normal load but within operating tolerances. The small tanks usually carried outboard were 191.5 gallon tanks which equal 1245 lbs. Both the Mk.117 & BLU are 750 lbs. JZZzTZO.jpg

Hi Dennis,

 

I've said it before and I will say it again: I love your build!

The paint scheme gives your Streak such a character!

 

Congratulations!
