REVELL KIT 5481, 5481 Assembly Manual

Although it proved to be the most

effective and successful fighter-bomb­er in the Korean Conflict, the contribu­tions of the F-84G Thunderjet go well
beyond the even those accomplish­ments. The Thunderjet was the first
production fighter-bomber to be fitted
with in-flight refueling capability and it
was the first fighter-bomber to have
the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon.
Your Revell model features recessed
panel lines, weighted tires, and a
standing pilot figure. Optional arma­ment includes a nuclear bomb,
250 lb. bombs or 5" HVAR rockets.
Authentic waterslide decal markings
for two versions are also included.
