Hi all, Here’s my rendition of the RNLAF F-84F Thunderstreak. Hope you like it. The kit is K48068 from Kinetic. As it is a straightforward OOB build the shape of the air intake is not 100% correct. I know there’s an aftermarket [...]

This kit from Special Hobby sure has it's challenges. Most difficult part was connecting the wings to the fuselage as the fitting was quite dramatic. All in all, I am happy with the result. What do you all think? Below a little history on [...]

Here’s another one. The F84G Thunderjet.
