F84 Thunderstreak

This Airfix offering of the Republic fighter bomber is a 1/72 scale kit from 1974 that I was building at the same time as the Skua below whilst I was waiting for copious amounts of filler to dry. It all went together quite well and I opted for the Luftwaffe markings partly to keep the USAF set as spares but also as they looked a little less fragile and made a bit of a change. Long out of service I have seen a couple in museums including one in Sunderland Land, Sea and Air Museum.
