  Belgium Independence Day

 

This is the old Airfix kit of the F 84F Thunderstreak. I've build it OOB except for the decals. They came from DACO Thunderstreak/Thunderflash sheets and can be used to represent any F 84(R)F from the Belgian Air Force. In this case, I made it an F-84F, used by the 31th Squadron, "Tigers" as used between 1956 and 1963.

The aircraft was painted in the 3 tone NATO camouflage colors of Dark grey and dark green over a PRU blue underside. Paint came also from DACO.

Enjoy the photos.
