Rob de Bie Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) I'm planning to interview a few Dutch Streak pilots about the weaponry of the F84F, and for that reason I am looking for the Mark 7 nuke from Monogram 1/48 F-84F Thunderstreak (plus the pylon). I believe it was only included in issue 85-5437. I can do some decal design or casting in return. Thanks in advance! Rob Edited June 14, 2018 by Rob de Bie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know, 5432 does not contain the nuke, instead it has two conventional bombs. But thanks for your response anyway! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffryfontaine Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 ScaleMates is a good reference for what the kit contents and box look like: Monogram kit number 5437, 1:48th scale F-84F Thunderstreak ------> https://www.scalemates.com/kits/192484-monogram-85-5437-republic-f-84f The original issue box art depicted an F-84F in overall NMF. This kit provided parts for fuel tanks and the Mk.7 shape with special pylon to carry the weapon. Monogram kit number 5432, 1:48th scale F-84F Thunderstreak ------> https://www.scalemates.com/kits/151917-monogram-5432-f-84f-thunderstreak The original issue box art depicted an F-84F in camouflage (SEA pattern/scheme). This kit provided optional parts for fuel tanks and 1000 pound GP bombs with conical fin assemblies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The box shows two inboard tanks amd two outboard tanks. I think many modelers did not want to use the nuke, and were disappointed that the kit did not have two inboard tanks.
