Until I was sent this link by a friend, I had never heard of a PR conversion of the F-84E, by the Royal Norwegian AF. Go to vingtor.net/ and click on the Downloads link, to download a VERY informative PDF document about the planes. You can use the Vingtor decals to complete your model. Larry |

Larry,
Very useful find, thank you.
You may have decided one of my choices for my pair of 1/48 RF84's.....
Interesting about the camera facing upwards....
Just got a couple of Fletcher camera pods at SMW2009.
Just got to get round to doing it now.

Larry -
same from me - thanks for the link.
I also bought a 1/72 version of the Fletcher recce tank just on the possibility of being able to model a recce F-84 sometime....

Thanks Larry, excellent link to an excellent bit of writing. Got a 48th F84 somewhere in store. Isn't it amazing what little gems can be picked up whilst browsing !
PS I didn't even see the Fletcher tanks at SMW - I was too busy getting lost !!.

That link is interesting Larry. As a slight diversion from F-84's, according to Duncan Curtis' excellent book on the F-86, the Yugoslavs converted thirty two F-86D's to recce purposes by removing the "Mighty Mouse" rocket pack and installing three K-64 cameras in lieu of. It seems they were known as "IF-86D", the "I" standing for "Izvidacki" = Recce. They also had flare racks under the fwd fuselage. Colin - make note of this thread - looks like your theme for 2010 - "Recce - Made in the USA" could be quite interesting !! DR |
