Jabba29 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Or even some RF-84Fs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've been thinking about an F-84F sheet for a while, so I will start researching and see what I can come up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vince Maddux Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Alabama had some nice looking RF-84s and the was on F-84F in Ala ANG markings.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePhantomTwo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Somebody say less colorful SEA? Maybe a fighter unit using RF's as fighters during the Berlin Crisis? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One from our units archives,don't know if it was a visitor or a transfer during the Berlin Crisis when we used RF's for the fighter mission. Quite a few colorful subjects to pick from regarding ANG units,and active duty as well. Edited February 18, 2014 by ThePhantomTwo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) In the mid-60's, my father had to commute from Terre Haute to D.C. for a stint and I remember the F-84F being based there. No clue which unit (I was 9 or 10, not something I would have noticed) but it should be easy enough to find out. Which means, of course, that there is yet ANOTHER Caracal sheet I will have to buy. Seriously. Auto-purchase plan. I'll give you my credit card number. Edited February 18, 2014 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The unit was the 181st TFG/113th TFS,if you seen a C-47 or C-54 on the flightline as well,that would have been the aircraft my father crewed,he was crew chief/flight engineer on them during that timeframe.My dad spent 34 years on that flightline out of his 38 year military career.I spent 18 on it.

Slartibartfast Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the unit info. Sorry, I don't remember any prop jobs. I do remember the pinball game in the waiting lounge, though. First one I ever saw and I needed a chair to play it when I could cadge a couple of nickels from my mother. We lived in Clinton for awhile, my dad was involved in the starting of the Little Italy Festival. We also lived a little south of town on Hwy 41 in a little subdivision in the corn fields. I went to school in Rosedale. Edited February 18, 2014 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live east of Sandcut,close to Fontanet.My wife's two brothers live in Rosedale,know the town well,I also dated a girl from there in high school.The Little Italy Festival is still going strong,it and the Covered Bridge Festival are two of the big ones everyone around here goes to when they happen.They tore down the middle school/high school and built an elementary school on the grounds,besides the new Dollar General,not much has changed in Rosedale for 40 or so years.

viking73 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'd sure buy anything 1/72 ANG myself for the R/F-84F. I just wish we had a nice new kit for them... :( -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Kursad, I sent you an email with a few reference photos regarding Richard Bach's NJANG F-84F. Hopefully it comes through ok... Corey in Colorado Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Since you were talking about F-80's, I figured I'd dredge up this thread. We still need some good ANG decals for the Hobby Boss F-84F! =)  Corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi Corey, We will definitely plan an ANG F-84F sheet here and I will design it before summer - I just need to wrap up the Neptune and B-52H artwork that have been sucking up all of my design time for the last couple of weeks. Really close to finishing both now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sounds great Kursad, looking forward to all those sheets! Â :) corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'd be in for a Tenn ANG RF-84 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 While I'm harassing you Kursad, I figured I'd resurrect this thread too. Still hoping for Richard Bach's airplane! =)  corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I will add this to the release list soon after I deliver a few more of the planned sheets that I have been promising for a while. Most of the general framework I drew for the RF-84F sheet should be applicable to this, so it would be relatively straightforward. Give me a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corey Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Figured I’d bump this thread.  Looks like Kinetic is rereleasing their F-84F kit, and then there is the Hobbyboss kit and the ubiquitous Monogram kit.  I’m still hoping for Richard Bach’s NJANG airplane! 😉  corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'd love to see a camo F-84F on the sheet for my old Monogram kit.  I usually like NMF, but for some reason SEA camo strikes a chord with me on these birds (as well as the F-86H - wish we had a nice 1/48 kit for that). It was cool to see them soldier on in warpaint with the ANG.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
