F-84F - HobbyModel - 1/33

Outstanding Ricardo! The landing gear and canopy are top notch. There's still a lot to learn by looking at your work . I don't see a single misfit or glue spill. A joy to watch and follow.

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks, Erik I keep learning all the time with other’s solutions, too


The last construction pictures show the pylons and the auxiliary tanks already glued. The pylon’s top surface is curved to match the wing profile. The match is bad, maybe because I didn’t get the intended wing cross-section. The pylons are too curved. So I added bits of card in the middle. If you intend to make this kit, make sure you assemble the pylons when the wing is done. Any adjustment would be easier to implement…

Very nicely done, very envious of you guys with your huge talent.

Thanks, Mike

The model is complete. It may be less ambitious than a Halinski but it is very good value for money. For me, the kit has some drawbacks like the sensibility of silver paint to my usual white glue. The paper quality is not to my taste, either, and some assemblies could be better engineered. Anyway, I found no nasty fit problems and the end result is very eye-catching. So, when I go shopping again, HobbyModel will very probably be on the list…

Beautiful work Ricardo. Such a clean and symmetric build. This model deserves a good display in your home! The mirroring surface adds something special to the pictures. Nice effect. Congratulations!
