Thunderbirds

[papermate]

I intend to build a collection of thunderbirds in 1/72 and wonder if anyone can let me know where to find the F-84F and F-4E, whether pay or free?

Fiddlersgreen has the F-4 and the F-84 in Thunderbirds markings.

Thanks, Aaron, just got the F-84 but not the F-4. Been to the F-4 pages but not sure if there's a thunderbird there.

Oops, I got confused by them having the Thunderbird's one pictured on the page. There is a Blue Angels version.

There is not a Thunderbirds version in the F-4 kits. I have both sets in MyFolder account. Saw a Blue Angels version, but not the Thunderbirds.

Yeah, a hard way to learn. Bought it, saw it and confirm that there's no F-4E thunderbird. Anyway, maybe it's a good one to build it in 1/200 - the Navy version. BTW, is there any repaint version? Seems that Retired_for_now has posted earlier some T-birds somewhere on this forum, isn't it right?

I think Yogi did it himself. Various USAF Thunderbirds

By coloring pencil and markers.

I have always thought if someone would design a set of Thunderbird aircraft,of the differnt planes, in the same scale, it would be a good seller.

I used the FG white F-4 and added some graphics plus a bit of pen and marker work to get the paint scheme. The F-105 is Paragon's with the same kind of tweaking. Thread referenced above covers it pretty well along with this one for the Blues Ojimak-Fiddler's Green Blue Angels series .
The T-38 T-Birds are in our download section.

Thanks, Yogi, for your information. I'll be using FG white F-4 to recolour a thunderbird and will show a pic of her later. As regards others, except Ojimak's F-16, I'll be using various models available on the market.
