RE: F84F Thunderstreak
Is this a new one or the Phantasy in Blue One he flew at Warbirds over the Midwest here in Fond du Lac 2 years ago, re-done.......in any case, one of the sweetest flying and landing giant scale warbirds I have ever seen.....Brian does a superb job on the sticks....

Very nice plane indeed. What engine goes inside this plane...a P200? Also wonder if the horizontal stabilizer is an all moving one or not.

RE: F84F Thunderstreak
FAN TASTIC. Certainly a stunning example of model aviation at it's finest!
I always liked the F-84F. Very special aircraft as far as aircraft design goes. It bridged the gap between the earlier gen fighters and the Century series. I also liked the family tree of "nicknames" the Republic fighters were granted, as far the pilots would have it. According to what I gather many pilots called the Republic P-47 the "Hog" and then some of those guys later in their careers flew the the Republic F-84 (straight wing) jet and it also kept that nick name. Then the Republic F-84F was nicknamed the "Super Hog" by pilots. and then the Republic F-105 was dubbed by some the "Ultra Hog" in addition to others like the Sled and the Thud. Then we have the Republic designed A-10 keeping the "Hog" nickname (Warthog, etc).
This example is simply stunning. I am always amazed by the collaborative talent, hard work, dedication and skill shown in the jet community as reflected by these projects.

Henry did a superb job building this jet and Brian is an ace at the controls.

Henry is very talented, but I have only seen him smoking cigarettes and looking at these models, I wonder if he has secret elves that do the work :-)
I love those early Republic planes, take a look at the XF-91 Thunderceptor. V Tail variant too!!
