Well, it looks like the tread heads can't get all the attention around here, since I build both tracks and kites I thought I would share my F-84. Finshed with alclad ll and built OOB. Marked as a SAC bird post Korean conflict.

All comments are welcome and appreciated, thanks for peeking....

Loverly Steve, I always like these natural metal jets, especially done as well as this Very nice cockpit as well, thanks for sharing
Is this the 1/48 kit? I have this and I'm undecided what markings to use.

Hello Mal,

Yes it is indeed the 1/48th kit. I built it for therapy, as I had read through a few reviews that stated the kit absolutely fell together, which I found to be true. The markings included are very colorful, but I found that the Tamiya decals were too thick to apply properly, as they did not respond to Micro set/sol, and the complex curves on the nose and tip tanks confounded thier placement. The canopy was a challenge, masking and painting the light gray re-inforcement "greenhouse" took a lot of time and care.

Good luck on your build..LOL

Steve

it is avery good model my friend.i want this model to build with greek decals when it was in greek service at 60ies.

Thank you George,

Looking forward to your F-84 in your native markings.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve.
Good looking jet. I love when someone put a metal finished on.
But one think that i like to comment is the panel lines. Are u plan to give the lines washes or something else to highlight them? I think your model will be really good if the panel lines are highlighted.

thanks

No, I won't be doing anything to the panel lines. I look at the real thing and I don't see it.
