Shiny and colourful !! F-84E in Germany !!


Recommended Posts

Hello Gents !!

SMW.... and I'm not up there:hanging::hanging:

However, I'll show you my solidarity... In having a RFI today !!

What about going in Germany... 1952... The 36 FBW was commended by a well known pilot....

And, his F-84E 10RE was painted accordingly....

As a kid, I read his book and in some way, I pay a tiny tribute to the Col Robert L. Scott jr....

Wooops, I said shiny and colorful....

Here we are...

This time, I used AK extreme metal instead of the usual Alclad....

Not too bad but I still have to learn about....

There has been some conversion to do to turn the Tamiya F-84G into a model E....

I let it very clean since the plane was oftenly presented in airshows and competitions....

That's also the reason for the JATO bottles....

Jato take off was and still is a show stopper....

Note the airbrake padlle is a scratched one.... I don't feel eager to fill the original tamiya one....

The sunny day helped for the pics..... Not too bad....

Okay gents, comments are welcomed.... Bantering is mandatory !!

Cheers to all my friend in Telford !! Be sure enough that I'll have a white Chimay with you all in my mind !!

Special thank to @Brandy for the SMW pics !!

It warms my heart !!

Sincerely.

CC, back in 2 minutes....

These 2 might have been side by side in real life...

Who knows ?? there are some years in between but....

 

Now I said shiny and colourful....

Let's go for it...

Well done work Cousin, wasn't aware Col.Scott stayed in post war. I should read his story but never seem to get around to it. 

Thanks Cousin !

I must have a pic of him in this F-84E.

I knew that he stayed in service but ignored that he has been based in Europe...

And the G will be for my Korean war serie...

That's not a surprise indeed !!

Aouch !! Painkillers are never a good new in a man's live...

What's up Sir, I hope that it is not too painful....

I ate these chemicals for years, now, I use it far less, since my entering in cyborg's world :wicked::wicked:

My new hip has changed my life... and my back too....

Great work CC, a stunning model, well all three are stunning. Good to see you get another one over the line.  

Chris

Thanks Chris,

It was not an easy one, mainly on account of the modifications....

I'm tempted by a F-86 now.... or 2 of them.... if not 3....:rofl2:

I'm also glad, 9 done for this year....

I had a surgery on my right knee and the painkillers didn't do much to minimise the pain. So, I said to myself, "stop being grumpy old man and take the pain!"

 

I'm feeling better now but, doctor's orders "DO NOT STEP." I feel like an F-104 flap!!

 

Cheers,

 

Bill

Oh Bill, not a funny thing

My knees are in bad shape too, but the surgeon told me that they did'nt have a reliable prothesis for the time being...

So, I have to carry on with what left....:hmmm:

I no longer jump and when I stand up or crank up there are some noise... and pain...

F-104 flap....:rofl2:

In my case it is .50 breech working :shrug::shrug:
