The first batch of SH72395 model kit is long sold out and due to huge demand and the orders still coming, we had to decide to prepare a re-edition of this excellent model as soon as possible. Kit no.SH72395 brings three USAF machine options, two of which saw service overseas in the UK and the third one flew over the USA. The kit is superbly detailed, offers the option to have the canopy hood either open or closed and the four styrene sprues also contain wide variety of underwing ordnance.

The F-84F Thunderstreak swept-wing jet fighter was a development of the Republic F-84G straight wing aircraft. Using a wing with the sweep along with a more powerful jet engine improved the performance to that of the F-86 Sabre. At first, the F-84F experienced several trouble with their power units, manoeuvrability as well as with corrosion. Later, after the outbreak of the Berlin Crisis and subsequent need to make the NATO forces more powerful, the F-84F jets started to equip many NATO air forces, including that of Germany and France, while earlier these planes were used mainly by the USAF and US Guard units.

The first combat deployment the F-84F saw was during the Suez Crisis and the only air victories gained by the type were acieved by Turkish machines taking on Iraqi Il-28 bombers violating the Turkish air space.
