   This is a 1/72 Plastic War Bird Collection Republic F-84G Thunderjet from
                      Tamiya.  It's for ages 10 and up.

     The F-84 was the first practical jet designed and produced by Republic.
The Thunderjet was designed to serve as an interceptor near the end of WWII.
In September of 1946 a prototype of the F-84 set a new airspeed record at
978kmh.  The G-type was introduced in 1952 during the Korean conflict and was
matched by the formidable MiG.  The F-84 still served well in ground attack
situations.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in grey.
          Ready to assemble precision model kit.
          The fuselage of the Thunderjet is engraved with realistic surface
            details like plate seams and bolt heads.
          Realistic gauges and flight control equipment fill the cockpit.
          An accurately reproduced landing gear system will suprise modelers
            with its high level of detail.
          Underwing accessories include bombs and large external fuel cells.
          Engine assembly is buried in the fuselage and is laden with detail.
          Clear canopy may be modeled in an open or closed position.
          Detailed pictorial instructions.
