The Danish
constitutional day was celebrated on June 5, but sadly ARC had no articles
regarding Danish props or jets.
This F-84 was
built for a former pilot who flew exactly this jet (well ok, a bigger
one!) back in 1958. Its a great kit and was built pretty much OOB, except
for the Eduard harness. It is painted in various shades of Alclad.
I used
the kits stencils, but the roundels are from a Danish manufacture -
Stoppel Decals.
I usually
weather my planes, but according to the pictures I found on the subject,
it seems RDAF jets were pretty clean...and further more since the kit was
built for someone else who probably wouldn't think too much about it being
weathered or not (and being eager to get one to another build...) Well to
cut it short: I didn't weather it at all.
Anyways, the
old pilot was very pleased with the result!
Hope you like
it as well. The pics are probably not the best, but when I took them
I didn't have an entry on ARC in mind!
