Here’s another one. The F84G Thunderjet.
This article is part of a series:
Because of the warm welcome I thought it would be nice to do another post today.
Hope you like this old 50’s jet.
This warbird flew with RNLAF from 1952 until 1956.
It was quite rudimentary and notorious because of its unreliability, nearly 30 percent of the fighters crashed because of accidents (btw also caused by lack of experience of the pilots with flying jets).
Together with the Gloster Meteor which entered service in 1948, the Thunderjet brought the jet age to the RNLAF.

Another beautiful build, Aldred!
Thanks, Spiros.
This one is a beauty as well, Alfred @alfred
Great detailing on the interior. Also nice to see the warning description in Dutch at the side of the cockpit.
Thanks again, John!
Again, nice work.
Thanks, Tom.
Nicely done Alfred.
Thank you, Robert.
These early jets are my favourites, this one looks great, and the figure adds another dimension.
Thanks, George.
Another nice one! Love the old jets, and it looks good in the RNLAF scheme and markings.
Much appreciated, Greg.
