F-84F Thunderstreak - 3/3 Ardennes Sq. Operation Musketeer - 1956


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

 

Here is my last completed build and the first of 2022.
This is the Italeri reboxing of the Kinetic kit. 

It's a plane from the french AF Escadron  3/3 Ardennes during Operation Musketeer (Suez canal crisis, 1956), based in Akrotiri, Cyprus.

 

The ID stripes are not the usual Yellow/black but rather midstone and white/black. The number of allied aircraft on base (over 200) led to a lack of yellow paint and use of replacement hues. 
As usual your comments and inputs are most welcome.
