There is a panel on the spine that needs to be dark grey and useful to spray that now ahead of the decals to follow.…
Decals
The decals are great quality being printed by Cartograf although my only gripe is that Kinetic have omitted many of the stencils from the sheet. This is very poor in my view. Looking at any pic of the Luftwaffe (and other air force’s aircraft) F-84Fs shows plenty of stencil markings that you’ll just have to imagine are there! Still, what there is goes down well enough, although I’m not wholly convinced by the accuracy of the yellow panel decals that are added to each fuselage side.

More gloss varnish mix to seal in the decals and make sure no carrier film is visible…
Having made those cuts in the decal they settle down really well with some more Micro Sol.

Nice model Geoff, but I prefer to see it in Dutch colours…… ;-)
Paul Ainsworth says
“Hello,Geoff” – The Thunderstreak certainly is a charismatic-looking aircraft and this is a superb tribute to the type.
Personally,I’m a great fan of the Norm72 colours and schemes and they suit this model so well.Another masterclass.
As Always,
Paul.
