MariusTop job for an unusual subject! Very nicely done!
How was the kit? any issues along?
15 July 2022, 14:38
Mid FranconianHi Marius! Thank you!
The kit is nice. Reminded me of an early nineties Italeri kit if I can say so. Engravings are a little bit shallow, more a short run kit but at any case buildable. Nice cockpit with 2 types of seats made of resin provided (at the end of their time in the Luftwaffe a Martin Baker seat was used). Fit was good, just a gap between fuselage and wings required some attention. The camera windows required some putty and sanding to make them blending into the fuselage. I tried to recover the glass shine by applying some AK Gauzy inside and outside. But some humidity from cleaning the model before painting came inside the fuselage, reacted with the Gauzy and the transparency was gone - my fault. So I painted them black in the end. Nice decals. In the end a very enjoyable build and the best way for a 72 scale RF-84 I think.

MariusThank you for the detailed answer!
I was thinking in the past of buying this resin kit, which had many positive reviews:
Republic RF-84F Thunderflash (PJ Production 721023, 1:72)
but for almost 40€ I thought it's a bit too pricy and I was looking for a classic injection kit. I might taken the Sword kit in consideration mabye.

Mid FranconianThank you Mirko! You are right, the RF-84 is not seen as a finished model very frequenttly. Even if you consider the widespread use of this recce plane. Lots of of nice schemes to choose from like Belgian, Greek, Dutch, U.S. of course...

Oleg BogoleiNice result! i am on a finaal steps of the same model and my thoughts of this model are nor so good) how did ypu do yellow line around the cocpit?
24 July 2022, 11:26
Mid FranconianThank you Neil!
@ Oleg: I used small strips of beige colored decal. Available here: tl-modellbau.de/Streifen-schmal_1
I have cut them smaller by using a fresh scalpel blade.
Would be good to have a source for pink strips which could be used for Russian planes´ cockpit sealings.
25 July 2022, 17:54
SkyhikerWhile looking at your photos I was also asking myself how you make the canopies so perfectly. The beige decal strips are a great solution. Beautiful results.
27 October, 19:19
Mid FranconianThanks guys for bringing the RF-84 up again 😀 Glad you like it!
Regarding the decal strips: sometimes I have my moments and things work well 😄 as planned! Took a long time to find such kind of colored decal. Dirty pink stripes would be good as well for Russian planes…

GUILLAUME CHi, Thanks. Mainly OOB, with some improvements, like on the engine where rods where missing.
30 September, 07:08
GUILLAUME CI will left this uniform, to hard to have te same result as real at this scale.
I've tried before, on spare part, with 2 metal colors and even if I use my 0.2mm airbrush, the result is awfull
11 October, 17:29
Michael KohlIt certainly does. Not easy by any means and much better than the preliminary tests I did so far.
13 October, 16:39
GUILLAUME CFor you attention, I use Vallejo duralumin for base coat, then, dark alu with a thin brush, I use only the tip to have the finest line I should, and draw random line with.

Kasper TeunissenI'm not going to completely pull the kit apart but I have taken apart the engine bay because I needed to change the cowls anyway and the engine is a bit visible and needed a bit of an improvement. This kit was originally made 5 or so years ago and the original WNW decals weren't secured properly back then, they started to tear. Seeing current market prices for these kits I thought it deserved some love.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️
25 February, 16:41
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Welcome @Nicolas, @ Rui and @DerMattes - thanks for your interest in this build 😊
26 February, 14:59
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.
11 March, 20:42
RuiI gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.
11 March, 23:46
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...
12 March, 08:09
Alec KGlad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?
12 March, 12:37
Bruce Huxtable1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.
12 March, 13:04
J35JGreat work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.
12 March, 13:16
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...
12 March, 17:59
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work
12 March, 21:02
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊

Sergej IFollowing! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂
5 April, 06:38
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆
5 April, 17:28
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)After a longer break on this I was finally able to restart on this build. Main engine components placed in fuselage, rivets added (as much as possible on this scale) and hydraulic tubes adde to landing gear. Now a bit of tedious work ... sanding and preparation for primer. Not much but in tricky places.
25 June, 19:39
Frank BrzobohatyGreat job, not the easiest in 1:72 scale is it Thomas? but it is rewarding when completed!
26 June, 16:21
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thanks @Frank!! Indeed it was a challange, especially when working with these resin parts for the first time. But as you say, I hope it will be rewarding once the Würger is done 🤷♂️
26 June, 18:03
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thanks @Jürgen. Working on the main paints already … German camouflage in 1/72 is a challenge 🤣
14 July, 07:03
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Many thanks @Shar! Appreciate it. I used the one and only (for me) Mr. Surfacer 1500.
14 July, 08:09
Shar DipreeYes, I like to use that too (Mr. Surfacer ). What gun, nozzle size and pressure do you spray with?
14 July, 08:18
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Good choice 👍 I apply the primer with a H&S Evolution, 0.4mm nozzle and about 1-1.2bar pressure. Thinning ratio about 40/60
14 July, 13:38
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Last weeks I was fighting ... fighting with myself to keep this model from trashing it. Almost by accident I learned that I planned to build it not historically correct. This plane didn't have cowling MG's, but everything was planned to display them. So I had to make a decision and decided to go historical correct and change parts on an almost completely painted model.
It was a fight in 1/72 ... some imperfections I successfully ignored in earlier building stages now payd off and made it really hard for me. It's not perfect yet and it won't be perfect ever, but I have some ideas to improve the remaining imperfections.
Definitely not a competition model anymore...
22 August, 07:22
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)@Trez: fully agree - and from this build I learned A LOT … I will finish this build for sure … some small corrections on misleading edges to be done and then I can go on with touch ups and clear coat to let the fun begin - decals and weathering 💪
22 August, 13:56
SkyhikerThis kit looks pretty decent. It seems a lot better than the Revell kit. Were there any problem areas?
22 August, 14:30
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)The eduard kit is close to perfection - all issues I had were selfmade. The only concern, but a really small one is the orientation of the langing gear bay components. You have to be careful and put the parts together carefully almost by eye. If you dont put them in exact position it will lead to gaps between upper wing and fuselage (at least on one side). There could be better positioning. But nothing to worry ir you work precisely
22 August, 16:44
Juergen KlinglhuberGo for it. We all are exited to see it passing the finish line despite all issues. 👍
6 September, 19:24
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thanks @Jürgen and @Skyhiker! Appreciate it. Decals are applied and final (or maybe not final, we will see) matt varnish also. She is ready for the oil party 🙂
12 September, 18:08
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Many thanks @Frank and @DerMattes - I really appreciate it and to be honest I did not expect this result when I think back to the times where she was close to land in the trash … happy that I didn't 💪
13 September, 06:32
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Done - some more pictures will be uploaded later. I would appreciate any feedback - thanks in advance & happy modeling. Cheers 🍻
20 September, 10:43
SkyhikerReally great results. Perfect paint job. That kit looks like it was made well. A heck of a lot better than the Revell kit.
20 September, 13:24
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thank you all for your nice and positive feedback! I appreciate it and I'm a bit overwhelmed at the same time. Thanks mates 🙏
21 September, 06:12
Frank BrzobohatyThat is a fantastic job Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! way to get it done.
21 September, 19:11
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thanks a lot @Rui and @Frank! Appreciate it a lot. It was a hell of a ride sometimes and all your positive feedback confirms my decision not to trash her 🙏
22 September, 07:58
Frank BrzobohatyThomas, I expect to see a 1st or 2nd place trophy sitting beside that beautiful model some time soon!
22 September, 17:22
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thanks @Frank!! I´m blushing, but I'm not sure if I ever show it on a competition ... in my opinion it´s not a competition model. Maybe I´m wrong ... I don't know. I´m a beginner with 6 finished models so I will have some more to present in the future .... but thanks for your motivating words - I appreciate it a lot 🙃

22 September, 18:07
Frank BrzobohatyTake my word on it Thomas, that is a show winner and maybe even best in show. If this is the quality at 6 kits looking forward to see your work in the future.
All the final pics are incredible. You should make a display base for it.
23 September, 15:06
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Thank you so much for your really nice feedback! You are almost pushing me to present it on a show 🤣 I will consider it and I will also try to do a small display base - thanks again
24 September, 09:49
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Many thanks @Frank - I really appreciate your feedback 🙏
13 October, 06:26
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Happy to announce this build was awarded at Nitra Model Show 2024 - really more than happy about this award considering the challenges I made myself during this build - Cheers and happy modeling to all of you ☺️
