This is the Tamiya 1/72nd Thunderjet kit, that I think is a lovely model to build. The amount of detail in the kit is great and it produces a very pleasing model. This is straight out of the box, no added detail, etc.

Very, very cool! I want to get that kit, when I have some money that is! Ha ha. You did a great job on a classic jet. Russell

Bought that one not long after it was released. Now if I get trained up enough to build it.

Very nice F-84 Mick. I really like your panel lines, how did you do them?

Just a little side note, I still have a plastic toy F-84 that is in the exact same markings as the one you have modeled with tailsign 110454 and fuselage code FS-454, but it has "Four Queens" on the fuselage side where yours has the tiger. I just thought it was strange

Hi Dean

I did the panel lines with Promodellers washes. Just brush on , leave it to dry then wipe off the excess. Then I finish with some Johnson Klear with Tamiya's Base Clear mixed in.

As to the markings, these are the decals that came with the kit, but I also have some aftermarket decals for the same plane. These are the same as the Tamiya ones, so I used that kit ones on the model.

Okay, thanks for that. I'll have to give that a try sometime.

Yeah, try it out. It's easy to work with and because it's a clay/water mix, if you mess up then it just washes off. Also if you don't think it's dark enough, just add another coat.

Wow that looks great

Excellent job!!! Look forward to more of your work.
