Republic F-84F Thunderstreak - Modelling information

Scale 1/72

Kits

• Airfix
  • Kit 03022: This is an older kit than the Italeri kit and of the same quality. The cockpit needs to be detailed.
• Italeri
  • Kit 107: A rather old kit, also released by Revell, with decals for a Dutch camouflaged Thunderstreak. The cockpit is rather good but somewhat bare, so you might use some detailing sets. Ad enough weight in the nose. The air intake and exhaust are open, so you can look right through the model, so you need to close it. The landing gear is rather fragile, but realistic.
• PJ productions
  • 72-1021: a resin model of good quality.
• Testors
  • Kit 942: This, here in the Netherlands scarcely available, kit can be compared with the Italeri kit.

A model of the F-84F Thunderstreak.
The kit used is the Airfix kit; the decals are used from several sets from IPMS Nederland.
