A few years ago, I promised to make this model in the colors of the USAF. I have been able to promise. More pictures available on our website.

Elegant looking plane and a nice addition to the choices of models of early jets.

This kit does need a correct rounded clear canopy though ( maybe GPM can make a vacuformed canopy for sale ).



Years ago, I built a plastic 1/48 scale model for a co worker that flew these F-84F type. I also got the flight manual for it. I think this was the first widely used jet type commonly used by NATO air forces.

Here are some pics of examples I have photographed in museums.

Warner Robbins AFB in GA, USA




Toulouse aviation museum showing a French color version ( looks like Suez stripe on the fuselage )



and a US color

In Poland, no one gets pressed canopy.You must do this yourself canopy.

You mean no vacuformed commercially made canopy for this airplane kit. However, there are many other canopies that GPM / Gomix sells. You must talk to them so they make it for your kit.


Good luck

All these companies are our friends. GPM does not produce canopy. For GPM canopy did just Gomix. Unfortunately, a few years ago, our friend died of Gomix. (^&%$$&%# cancer)He had just dealt with the production of canopy. However, we are intense efforts to resume production again.
