Was looking at the stash earlier and I've been planning to make early USAF jets (even started some but that's another story). So I think my first build for this GB will be the Revell F-84G Thunderjet in 1:48 - 04534. |

The Citadel paint is now sold as 'Runefang Steel'. Not tried out any of the new ones, but Mithril Silver was a go to for silver finishes. peebeep |

Thanks for the heads up. Opened the box this morning. ![]() Top opening ![]() ![]() Instructions quote generic colours no FS or Revell details. Going to use the guide on the F-84F to assist. ![]() ![]() ![]() I originally thought that this was a Monogram re-pop but it looks like it could be a 1999 Revell original, the engraved panel work would appear to confirm this. Currently washed and air drying to be started shortly. |

Got some assembly done last night, almost a disaster. Fitted the cockpit tub on top of the guide ridge instead of below it, amazing how much a mm can throw things out of kilter. Fortunately the glue hadn't cured and was able to realign it. Fit of everything has been excellent no filler at all just a small ridge around the intake. Post some pictures later. |

That's a cracking looking pair John. I do like early U.S. jets and your doing a super job on them. |

Revell F-84G.![]() Really looking forward to the greenhouse on this one (not), dry fitting of the clear sections shows an exceptional fit so is the whole kit to be honest. |
