    Last year I ended the year building early jets from the Soviet Union, it would be nice to end this year building an early jet from the U.S. I've been eyeing this kit for long time so this group build came up at a perfect timing. Thank you George for the invite!

    This looks like a nice kit from the 70s. This will be a straight out of the box build. I would like to finish this using US markings and in a natural metal finish.

    Hi, Bob (@v1pro). Welcome to the group. I love your builds of these older kits. They have all been amazing. I think Heller released this 1/72 straight-wing F-84 and a 1/48 F-84F late in the 1970s. I actually like the straight-wing versions better. Looking forward to your build.

    Like the others have said, I’m looking forward to seeing this one come to life. The straight wing jets look better in my opinion. They have that “50’s vibe” going on with them.

    Bob @v1pro, it seems to be a universal with F-84s, all the kit manufacturers get it right. Looking forward to seeing and reading your efforts on this Heller classic.
