Those are decals. This is for the airplane flown by Robert L. Scott, when CO of 36th FBW in Germany circa 1951, the airplane he used for the circumnavigation of Africa – the first by a jet.
Thank!, the blue and black stripes were decal. That said I had to do some touch up to make everything work. Floquil railroad colors conrail blue is a dead on match for the lighter blue stripes.

Marvelous! Did you mask the various stripes or are those decals?

Very nicely done….a colorful bird indeed. I like it (I can see a lot of work went into this build).

Well done Rob,
I didn’t even know Hobby Boss made a 1/32 Scale F-84, looks terrific.

They do the F-84E and F-84G as separate kits.

Rob,
You really captured this scheme. A compliment to Scott. I have one of these going in 1/48 and it will be in the same scheme. Yours is stunning.
