Subject: Republic F-84G Thunderjet

Manufacturer: Italeri

Constructed in 1988.

This was a typical 1970's kit - raised panel lines which were lost if any filling and sanding of joints was required, and voids in the engine air intake and jetpipe. However, the fit of the parts was excellent, a half-decent ejection seat was provided and although not boxed-in, the undercarriage wells were detailed. The decals were superb.
