Ben MWhere's the other wing and the propeller? Just joking, this is a beautiful build!

Jennifer FranklinDo you know why one bomb is blue and the rest are grey? Very nice work.

Erik LeijdensGreat Streak Elias! I presume the blue bomb is atomic bomb? And nice collection too!

Elias KorompilisThank you all!
The blue "bomb" was a copy of the MK 7 nuclear bomb used for training. (Until today all inert training weapons are painted blue) the rest 3 are of course extra fuel tanks..
The kit is top notch, no problems, no putty used 🙂

Alex K👍 👍 ... but on the other hand, the RATO paraphernalia on this one is the icing on the cake! 👍 👍

Rolf SchranerHello Elias
how did you build the special pylon for the atomic device?

Rolf SchranerOh that's surprising…
However your Thunderstreak is an excellent build!
Thank you for the information.
Greetings to Greece

David CulpLooks excellent, although I am surprised to see a nuke shape on an HAF airplane.

Maciej BellosExcellent work Elia!
David, HAF had a squadron for using nukes just like other NATO air forces had. The nukes were stationed at Araxos AB, and we later used F-104Gs for the same mission. Obviously the nukes were guarded by US personnel and any unauthorised person that got within say 10-20ft of the device, was shot at with questions asked later. I think I have a photo somewhere of the dummy loaded on an F-84F.

Album info
This is the new tool special hobby kit. Finally after so many years a decent F-84F in 1/72! One is never enough, I had to built at least two!!
The model depicts a Greek F-84F operating with 336 squadron for NATO nuclear strike duties, Araxos airbase c. 1963.
