A bit of "Wiffing." JASDF Rf-84.




Not much of a back story,the JASDF used the RF86 Sabre for their recce needs until the RF-4EJ. 
The USAF used the Rf-84 Thunderflash then used the RF-101 Voodoo before going all RF Phantom.

( mmmm a Japanese Voodoo???)


The markings are from a Hasegawa RF-4EJ. Provided very kindly by a fellow modeller Ian Gaskell. The sheet provided a plethora of Japanese stencil data which isnt readily apparent in the photos but adds "presence " when viewed on the table.



                     
            Ejector seat from a Monogran F-84 Thunderstreak.


     The eagle eyed will have noticed the woodpecker on the tanks..........................old hotrod decals.

         I cant remember where the eyes came from........................answers on a post card please.
