Just remembered that Richard Bach (The same from Jonathan Livingston Seagull) flew a F-84F while the cold war, and I just was asking me if somebody has/will do his plane?

Illusions was the best book I ever read.

Stranger to the Ground was about his USAF service in the F-84.... several of his short stories leveraged his USAF experience as well. A talented writer. I actually saw him at a book signing in Monterey CA when I was 9 or 10... Johnathan Livingston Seagull had just been published.

The F-84F in question is an every day Cold War F-84F; no special decoration or nose art on this plane. I'm going to seek and think that Bruno has this scheme in his last models list. If not, this is a very easy recolor to do. Even Fiddlers Green model is adequated to try this recolor because of the scale you builds (1/72). It's funny but the conversation went on the books of Richard Bach. Regards, Tony.
