alberto49 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Here following some pictures of my model of an Italian F-84G sporting the insignia of 5 Stormo / 5 Aerobrigata based in Villafranca airport in 1952. Starting in 1952 Italy received 242 Thunderjets that also went to 6 Stormo and 51 Stormo. They ended their service in 1956 when they were scrapped. The kit I used was the one from Hobby Boss in 1:32 scale, with the addition of AMS Resin cockpit en CMK HVAR rockets.

alberto49 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Many thanks for all nice comments! By the way, I just been told by a friend on an Italian chat dedicated to the "Thunders", that the way HVARS are installed on my model aren't correct for an Italian bird. My goal as modeller was and still is to be as much as possible historically correct, so I wait for documentation from that guy and, very likely, I will modify that detail. So, more pictures to come sometime in the near future. Alberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Not your usual national markings, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto49 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Not your usual national markings, thanks for sharing. Hi, why are you saying that those national marking are unusual? They have been introduced for the first time during WW1, forgotten for nearly 20 years during Fascism and back in use in late 1943 when the Co belligerent Aviation was crated in Southern Italy.

Alberto Alberto, I think Bill means that they're unusual compared to the USAF markings you normally see on Thunderjets. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
