Hobby Boss 80246 F-84E Thunderjet Retro Scale Kit  [HB-80246]

Hobby Boss 80246 Scale Reproduction of the F-84E Thunderjet

The Republic Aviation F-84E Thunderjet holds a notable place in post-war military aviation. Developed during the closing stages of World War II, its first flight occurred in 1946 and production finished in 1953 with around 4,457 airframes produced across six variants. The F-84E variant, introduced in 1949, represented a key step in the design's evolution.

This 1:72 scale Hobby Boss kit reflects the Thunderjet that remained in USAF service until 1956, with some examples serving in the Air National Guard through 1959. The model gives modellers an opportunity to study and recreate the jet's profile and historic character.

Why Model This Jet

The F-84E kit is enjoyable for builders who like precise fit and scale detailing. Careful painting and decal work will reward builders with a convincing display subject for a military aircraft collection.
