Lovely build and the MPC supplied markings are cool. It really looks like it's going somewhere in a hurry.

Nice work, I made one in the West German markings a couple of years back. I have an Italaleri Thunderstreak and Thunderflash in the stash and think that Airfix did a slightly better job. It's a type that really needs a modern kit in 1/72 releasing.

That's a remarkable job on that old kit. One of the few Airfix kits where the raised panel lines were possibly as dangerous as the rivets on FROG's Shackleton!
So, well done!
Cheers,
David

Agreed. The Later F-84s take up position on the wing of the P-63, MiG-19 and Super Frelon in the Squadron of Inadequately-Kitted Aircraft.shangos70 wrote:Nice work, I made one in the West German markings a couple of years back.

And needless to say, smashing build.
