What a beautiful model, welcome to iModeler, Michal. Tamiya have a good reputation, but it takes real skill to make them look as good as this.

It looks cool in the camo paint! I think all other F-84s I’ve seen were in silver of some sort. Thanks for something so different!

Absolutely gorgeous, Michal. I have a soft spot in my heart for the early straight-winged jets and especially both major versions of the F84; straight AND swept wings. (Same with the Navy’s F9 aircraft)
