F-84F Thunderstreak

F-84F Thunderstreak

From the cover of a Special Hobby plastic model kit. Several are available on E-Bay. Special Hobby was founded in 1989 in the Czech Republic. 1989 ring any bells? Like maybe the year the Soviet Union Collapsed? Don't suppose there is any connection, do you?

The Thunderstreak is a swept wing version of the F-84 Thunderjet. They built 3,500 of them, which is roughly half of the number of the straight wing F-84s. It sounds like most of them went to our allies.
