This is 1/48 Tamiya F-84G Thunderjet finished with Turkish aerobatic display team markings.  The first aerobatic display team in the Turkish Air Force was established in 1952 using the name “National” (Milli). Part of 9th Air Base Command at Balikesir, this team flew F-84G Thunderjet aircraft. The team existed until 1962, performing in Turkey, Italy and Belgium.

Cockpit modified by some parts from the Aires set like the instrument panel and seat belts.

Natural metal areas painted with Alclad lacquers.  National insignias and flags are from Turquoise decal set.  Code numbers (282 & 102282) are from my spares box.

Happy modeling
