About product

Republic F-84G Thunderjet (1:72, Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American Republic F-84G Thunderjet jet fighter-bomber in 1:72 scale from Hobby Boss. The model belongs to the simplified Easy Assembly range with a low number of parts, large one-piece sections of the airframe and a one-piece canopy. The package holds decals for several markings; the exact contents may differ between releases.

The real subject

The F-84G was the definitive version of the straight-winged Thunderjet, which entered service in 1951. Compared with the earlier F-84E it received a more powerful engine, equipment for in-flight refueling and the ability to carry heavy armament, nuclear weapons included. It flew in the Korean War and became a widespread type with NATO allies as well; in 1954 the American Thunderbirds display team flew it too.

Building and painting tips

Glue the large airframe parts with liquid cement for plastic and sand the joints down. For a natural metal finish use a metallic paint over a gloss surface and vary the individual panels; apply colorful markings, for instance a display scheme, only over smooth gloss varnish, so that the decals take well.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of jets of the early Cold War
  • Collectors of Korean War and early NATO equipment
  • Anyone interested in striking display team schemes
  • Beginners looking for a quick build

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
