southwestforests Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Question for y'all; Has there ever been, or currently is there, a 1/144 F-84 E/F/G Thunderjet model? Straight wing versions are preferred. Preferably plastic over resin. Another desired 1/144 is F-89 Scorpion. Blackburn Buccaneer would go over well too. Related question - websites or forums specifically for 1/144 modeling. Do know where several airliner ones are. Edited July 5, 2012 by southwestforests Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Cafereo made a Buccaneer gashapon. The best 1/144 forum is Kampfgruppe 144. (click the BBS button on the upper left) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Only F-84 I am aware of is Hobbycraft's RF-84K, which they did with their B-36 FICON kit. I wish they would have offered it as its own kit as it was a pretty neat little model and it could easily be done as an RF-84F just by altering the angle of the tailplane stabs. I guess Miniwing has done a standard F-84F in that scale in resin and Aeromodeler apparently did one a few years ago (discontinued). I am not aware of a straight winged F-84E/G series, but my guess would be if anyone had done it (or considered it), Ozmods would be the most likely candidate. I remember seeing a Gashopon F-84G a few years ago, but I don't recall the manufacturer of it, or remember exactly what scale it was (it was close to 1/144, but likely smaller). It was a real oddball as the "kit" line had these models packaged inside a container mounted in an edible chocolate egg. Edited July 6, 2012 by Jay Chladek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmat Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi, Jay. Aeroclub offered an injected molded RF-84F that I think had a better shape than the Hobbycraft one. But it's like a Hi Planes kit, fighting you every way until you finish it. Best wishes, Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbittner Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Miniwing does the F-84F Thunderstreak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
