Hey Mac, great to see you back at your design project. I know you have been through the worst time of your life and time is something robbed from you having to deal with it all, hopefully things are on the up for you, and that you get more time for fun in your life. This design project is coming along nicely indeed. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Hello gents,

Sorry to be late with update but just had another challenging time.

PETE - thank you for your kind words, I will keep it going!

Now, just a bit of update...

I have done the FS numbers for the 2nd version of F-84E which is going to be a 'SKYBLAZERS' Aerobatic Team machine.
Got the tail stripes done as well.
A bit of trial & error process, and the proper angle seems to be 11.5 degrees.
Please see the screenshots below.

Abit of information about Skyblazers and photos of their Thunderjets can be found here:
Skyblazers F-84 Thunderjet

In the next step I will be dealing with tail numbers font, it seems to be slimmer than a typical USAF fonts. (???)


kind regards

Cybermac

Early E version exhaust pipe

Hello gents,

Sorry for not being here for a bit of time but my live hasn't been easy again.

Anyway, just recently I managed to design and put together an easy E version (Block 1-20) exhaust pipe.

Next step is the Block 25-30 version

Please see the photos

Kind regards

Cybermac

Mac, we all know what life turning sideways is like, talk may not solve everything but, talking can help to reralise we can make it through. One day at a time.


Try talking to someone, you are worth the time and we can make it together.

Thumbs up E-25/30 exhaust

Hello gents,

Thank you for you kind words!
In a short words - I have gone through the worst and I am recovering

Ryan - it will be great to have a chat with you.

I have just put together the E-25/30 version.

Please see the 'exhaust pipe evolution'
All 3 versions: E-1/20, E-25/30 and G.

BTW, I am planning a trip to Soesterberg Aviation Museum in Holland this summer so I can get a good photo documentation for G version of Thunderjet.

Next update on the project - hopefully in 2 weeks!

Kind regards

Cybermac

Hello gents,

Sorry for late reply but the vertical stabilizer's design is not as easy as it seems.

It is generally done, but soon I need to extend it slightly on the bottom so it catches with the fuselage oval cross-section shape. Also, there is going to be a front bit going to be added. All together, it will be coming in 3 main parts.

Please see the print screens below

kind regards
