Where's the other wing and the propeller? Just joking, this is a beautiful build!

Do you know why one bomb is blue and the rest are grey? Very nice work.

Great Streak Elias! I presume the blue bomb is atomic bomb? And nice collection too!

Thank you all!
The blue "bomb" was a copy of the MK 7 nuclear bomb used for training. (Until today all inert training weapons are painted blue) the rest 3 are of course extra fuel tanks..
The kit is top notch, no problems, no putty used 🙂

👍 👍 ... but on the other hand, the RATO paraphernalia on this one is the icing on the cake! 👍 👍

Hello Elias
how did you build the special pylon for the atomic device?

Oh that's surprising…
However your Thunderstreak is an excellent build!
Thank you for the information.

Looks excellent, although I am surprised to see a nuke shape on an HAF airplane.

Excellent work Elia!
David, HAF had a squadron for using nukes just like other NATO air forces had. The nukes were stationed at Araxos AB, and we later used F-104Gs for the same mission. Obviously the nukes were guarded by US personnel and any unauthorised person that got within say 10-20ft of the device, was shot at with questions asked later. I think I have a photo somewhere of the dummy loaded on an F-84F.

Thanks for the info, Maciej. That's a bit of history I was not aware of.
