Monogram F-84F

John
It's a good kit. I know there's been something made of accuracy issues but it looks good to me. I think it has one of the best OOB cockpits of any Monogram kit.

Carlos Cisneros Författare
I agree! I think that it's gonna be an enjoyable build.

John
Canopy fit is terrible, FYI, especially the rear part where it meets fuselage. If you want it closed, be prepared for quite a bit of fiddling. Pylon to wing fit also pretty bad and wings/fuselage have some gap issues. Then again, it is a Monogram so you kind of have to expect it!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
I am planning on an open canopy, so no problem on that fit issue. I can deal with the rest of the issues as on all my previous Revellogram builds. 😉

Watching!

Guy Rump
Looking good! 👍

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thank you sir! I can't wait to get some aluminum on there soon!

John
I liked that Monogram included the Mk 7 baby nuke. That must have been an interesting mission for the pilot.

Carlos Cisneros Författare
I imagine that the mission profile was interesting. After doing the bomb toss and hopefully surviving, I wonder what they expected to find upon return to base? In that scenario all sorts of atomic weapons would be flying around onto every conceivable target.

John
If it was in central Europe I imagine you'd be looking for an old abandoned Luftwaffe field or a nice stretch of autobahn. If you did your bit for Uncle Sam I'd say it was every man for himself after that!

John
I love these markings 👍 The mushroom cloud tells you everything you need to know!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thanks John! Yeah, the Wing badge sure made no secret of their mission. 😉 The red squadron trim and stripes really are eye catching

Guy Rump
Great build and beautifully presented. 👍

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thank you Guy. I learned long ago from a superb modeler that presentation can make all the difference.

Neuling
I agree with Guy!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thank you for your kind comment Neuling.

Good looking NMF and Markings.

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thanks Mark. I was trying out AK Real Color Aluminum for the first time here, and I think the results of using that paint speak for themselves.

That's excellent!!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thanks Kyle! I'm happy to hear that you like it.

Kyle DeHart
Absolutely. The F-84 is a looker and you've done a great job.
