This is the freeware Alphasim F-84F. It's an FS9 model, but it flies fine in FSX with a couple of panel mods. You can find those here just by putting "Thunderstreak" in the search box. I've had it in the hangar for a long time, but never really warmed much to it. It just looks so... tired, I guess. But after thinking about doing something in a Thunderbirds paint scheme, I decided to take another look.
First stop was the Virtavia freeware page to download the paint kit. After a weekend in the paint hangar, the same airplane has a whole new look!
I am quite happy with the results and I've got a good base on which to build a good-looking mid-50s Thunderbird.
