Here’s my entry for Ron’s reconnaissance build . It’s the elderly Heller kit of the Republic RF84F Thunderflash in 1/48. The Thunderflash was a variation of the F84 Thunderstreak but with intakes at the wing roots instead of the nose. This reduced the top speed a little but crucially made room in the nose for several cameras. This aircraft, like the thunder streak ,is a fabulous looking thing - it looks fast just standing still ( even though it wasn’t,). The kit is typical older Heller , raised panel lines but beautifully done and some very nice details. It’s not a kit of many parts but that suits me fine , the only areas that I’m going to add a bit more to are the seat ( pe belts) airbrakes ( airwaves pe set) and the cameras in the nose ( there aren’t any just the windows and a big void!) I’ve also got some aftermarket decals for a couple of USAF Air national guard units who used this aircraft up until 1972. The kit decals weren’t bad with french ,Belgian and Norwegian options but the carrier film was a bit yellow ( seems to be the case with heller decals even when new?) and I wanted to do a US machine anyway . I can’t wait to get stuck into this one . Cheers tony
