1/48 Republic F-84G Thunderjet

With development project beginning at the end of WWII in 1944, the USAF fighter F-84 Thunderjet reached production in 1947. This kit reproduces the G version, first produced in 1951. This jet played an important role as a fighter/bomber in Korean War. This early jet with its characteristic straight wings has been accurately reproduced. The fuselage front upper panel can be mounted in either the opened or closed position revealing the nose machineguns and making this model even more realistic. Flaps and airbrakes can also be mounted in either opened or closed position. The plane can be assembled without fuel tanks on wing tips. The kit also features parts for replication of 500 pound bombs, underwing tanks, RATO (Rocket Assisted Take-Off) as well as pilot figure. Decals for 3 different sets of markings are also included.
