I just wrppped up the build on this one for the Secret Santa GB. It is strictly OOB except for the Eagle decals I used due to the kit ones being very yellow. This particular bird was lost in a ground fire in France in '54. This is the only known photo of the plane I could find. There really are not a lot of good photos of these F84's like some other planes so some artistic license was used in the wheel bay detailing. I hope you like it. It was an enjoyable kit to build.

Looks good. The wheel well painting is correct based on research I did when I built this same kit several years ago.

A true gem, BrandonK. I have a strong dislike to jets EXCEPT jets from the 40's and 50's. Excellent work!

She's a superb representation, Brandon, and the colored markings are very striking against the NMF making for an overall beautiful build! I love it!

Excellent build all the way around! Yes The NMF, Squadron markings and everything else came out perfectly. That kit really is a gem to build. Great job BK. Toast
