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.

          Ready to assemble precision model kit.
          The fuselage of the Thunderjet is engraved with realistic surface
            details like plate seams and bolt heads.

          An accurately reproduced landing gear system will suprise modelers
