Indeed.  A Thunderstreak, particularly one capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, would be most welcome.

Yepeeee! An iconic cold war jet!!!! 

[Zola25]

Great.. hope they eventually make the RF-84 variant. Otherwise I will have to finally buy a 3D printer and learn how to design parts myself 

[Landrotten Highlander]

Will be skipping this one.

 

Would be nice though if they produce some of those kits that have been 'proposed' in the past, such as the Phantom and Skyrocket etc....

My enthusiasm is tempered only by the price and long wait for the goods, which is why I skipped on the Draken — and now another favourite Cold War jet. Aaagh! 

I'll enjoy seeing these built — by others.

Although I'm likely not the world's biggest Thunderstreak fan, this would have to be a must have for me.........

The Thunderstreak was the very first real airplane I ever set eyes on as a lad. 

Still there to this day, although in a bit of a sad state...............

Nice! If it's affordable, I'll have to grab one. The MOANG flew them way back when, so I may do a tribute aircraft.

Having bought some of their kits which are superb btw I have to say that at my age long waits are out of the question now!

We are talking many many months and if you don't mind that then I do recommend their products.

However I have no shortage of projects in the stash that I can do whenever I want and I'm happy with that now!

ten years ago, Harold, Bruce, Glen, Luuk, Ole and myself started compiling materials for a Streak in 32. That was supposed to be used by Kittyhawk but led us nowhere. It is good to see, Jetmads is picking this up. With the Thunderflash, the Streak is arguably one of the most important post-war jets (with the Thunderjet and Shooting Star) in Europe and the US.

Looking forward seeing this one!

I'm still hoping your Thunderstreak dossier may find its way into Zimi's hands. 

It is as significant as its contemporary the Hunter, which was nicely done by Revell. The F-84F is waaay overdue in 1:32. 

 

Sadly, while I acknowledge that 3D-printed & resin kits are not just the future but also the 'now' in 1:32, my current overriding maxim is "If it can't be done right away using polystyrene cement and Humbrol paints it's a pass".
