CrowTRobot Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have the 1/48 Kinetic F-84F Thunderstreak, and I'd like some recommendations for worthwhile aftermarket upgrades. I'd like to improve the cockpit and speed brakes/spoilers if possible. Here is what I have found so far: Airwaves makes a set of photoetch speed brakes and spoilers: http://www.rollmodels.net/search/pic.php?fName=AW484061.jpg Extra-Tech makes a photoetch set that includes interior and exterior details (including speed brakes and spoilers): http://www.modelsforsale.com/listphotos/EX48045.jpg AMS has a resin ejection seat, but I haven't found any pictures of it yet. Have I missed anything? If you've used any of these items then I'd appreciate your input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think set #48004 is what I would need. Do you have any experience with the Airwaves photoetch set for the perforated speed brakes and spoilers? I'd like to make sure they'd fit the Kinetic kit before I plunk down my cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like the Airwaves set. They aren't accurate and hard to use. If you contact Bruce Craig, (F-84thunderjet.com) his are far more accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just checked his web site, but it's undergoing an upgrade and content is limited. I found a PE set for the RF-84F- does he also have a set for the regular F-84F?
