John, I can sure recommend this kit. It is pretty nice OOB. And I know what you mean about the builds not surviving a move...

Ya gotta love those transonic jets. The designers had figured out swept wings, but not quite how to maximize design performance potential.

Stik this looks really good


John the only one of mine that didn't make my big trip was my Accurate Miniatures Mustang Mk.Ia. the landing gear broke and it wasn't worth repairing

Forward motion has occurred! Progress has been made after having to shut down, tear down my old work bench, then set up a new one.
Yesterday I sanded the fuselage seams smooth, which required extra smoothing effort due to the NMF this will be wearing. Today I scribed in the lost panel lines, then added the wings and stabilators.



and then, just like that, it took on the shape of a Thunderstreak….

Next up is a little seam filling at the wing roots…

Looks like a Super Hog

Thanks TJ. It sure does now.

Nice!!

Looks good!

Most excellent work, Carlos. Looks good.

Looking good Carlos!

I start to realize, that my next project after finishing my current builds, is to make a F-84F !

Thanks Kari. The F-84 is one of those underrepresented subjects in modeling. Especially when you consider how widespread and long the type’s service life was among NATO countries.
