Hobby Boss 80246 American F-84E Thunderjet - A Tribute to Aviation History

The Republic Aviation F-84E Thunderjet represents an important chapter in military aviation history. As a turbojet fighter-bomber conceived near the end of World War II, its first flight took place in 1946 and production ran until 1953, yielding about 4,457 aircraft across six main variants. The F-84E, which arrived in 1949, brought measurable improvements in capability for its era.

This 1:72 scale kit from Hobby Boss recreates the F-84E Thunderjet, a type that served with the United States Air Force through 1956 and with some Air National Guard units until 1959. The model captures the jet's recognizable lines and provides a focused project for collectors and scale modellers who appreciate post-war designs.
