1/48 F-84F Thunder84F Thunderstreak
The Republic F-84F Thunder streak was an American-built swept-wing turbojet fighter-bomber. While an evolutionary development of the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet, the F-84F was a new design as a competitor to the F-86 Sabre. The F model differs from the C model in that its wings are swept back 40 degrees; its tail and elevator are swept back, it has a smaller canopy and redesigned windscreen. First flown in November of 1952, it was built too late for the F model to see combat in Korea. Some Thunderstreaks did see combat while serving with England and France in the 1956 Suez Crisis.
Kit includes: Detailed fuselage & wing with accurate design, detailed gear cabin & cockpit and photo etched parts.
