Always great to see new sheets for the plank winged F-84. Like the F-86, I have a real fondness for this aircraft. We are also quite blessed to have two great kits of this plane. An F-84G by Tamiya and Pro Modeler, with an F-84E by Revell.

Both aircraft are in unpainted metal with olive drab anti-glare panels.

First up is an F-84G-1 from the 493 FBS/48 FBG. The  tip tanks and fin/horizontal stabilizers on this one are yellow and need to be painted. So does a portion of the nose with a small flash behind it. The blue flashes are all supplied as decals.

The other is an F-84G-1 of the 55 FBS/20 FBG. This one is a bit more sedate with blue flashes on the nose and tip tanks with a blue band around the aft fuselage.

The sheet provides enough data markings for one and perhaps two as I see some duplication. Insignia and USAF markings for one, with the lower set of USAF markings divided so as to be easier to apply to the gear door segments.
