Belgian Streak

Post by dmminiatures »

Hi Folks, Happy to share with you another build I completed this weekend.

This is Revell's F-84F Thunderstreak in 1/48 scale. Everything was OOTB. The hardest part was choosing the decals between the Dutch, Belgian, and Luftwaffe. All had gorgeous livery.

Image

This is also my third model completed this year. All from Revell all in 1/48 scale.

Image

The build was quick and easy. however the painting process was tedious. And the decalling was very challenging.

Image

Everything had to be masked: the canopy frames, red-white stripes, intakes ban. It was a very slow process. As for the decals, they did not adhere very well like as if they dont have any adhesives.

Image

Hope you like them!
Best, Monty

Thanks, Stik. Did it in a month. 60 hours more or less.

Haha. Thanks Lyle. Well, err, here is the model...in the making.

This is the decal process. Very slow and painful. The decal didnt adhere well. When it dries...it came off easily. I have only the Revell Decal soft at the moment. Usually it works but here it failed. Lots of lots of effort getting rid of the silvering. Wish I had the Sol and Set.
