Republic F-84F Thunderstreak "Reborn Luftwaffe"

The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak was an American swept-wing jet-powered fighter-bomber aircraft.
The F-84F was a further development of the F-84 Thunderjet.
The Bundeswehr's "Reborn Air Force" fielded 450 Thunderstreaks and operated the aircraft within NATO between 1957 and 1966, when the remaining aircraft were sold to Greece and Turkey.
Two of the German jets crashed on Czechoslovakian territory due to a loss of orientation, but their pilots were able to get out in time.
Each model kit SH72505 contains a small piece of these two destroyed airframes as well as a certificate.
The decal sheet contains the markings of four Luftwaffe planes, one of which crashed in Czechoslovakia.
