Greece National Day 2009

Here are some pictures of my F- 84F Thunderstreak in Hellenic Air Force duty. It is the new Kinetic kit with very nice detail components.  I've included an Extra Tech detail set for the cockpit, two Browning 0,50mm (Aires) and for the Wright J-65 engine, the CMK detail set for the engine part of F-104. Also I scratch-built the gun bay detail components. Rudder and ailerons was cut and repositioned.

I  painted the model in NATO camo with Model Master colors: Blue Grey+Gull,  Grey+Black (30%+60%+10%), Dark green+black (90%+10%) and Light grey for the lower surfaces and finished it with extensive weathering.

Decals set was from Icarus Decals, representing an F- 84F Thunderstaek in H.A.F service during 1957-1984.

I hope you enjoy my model. Happy modeling!
