Where's the other wing and the propeller? Just joking, this is a beautiful build!

Rui S
A Beauty 👍

Do you know why one bomb is blue and the rest are grey? Very nice work.

Oleg Bogolei
Nice model! Was any problems with the build?

Erik Leijdens
Great Streak Elias! I presume the blue bomb is atomic bomb? And nice collection too!

Elias Papadimitriou
Top!

Elias Korompilis
Thank you all!
The blue "bomb" was a copy of the MK 7 nuclear bomb used for training. (Until today all inert training weapons are painted blue) the rest 3 are of course extra fuel tanks..
The kit is top notch, no problems, no putty used 🙂

Jennifer Franklin
Ah, thank you for the enlightenment.

Alex K
👍 👍 ... but on the other hand, the RATO paraphernalia on this one is the icing on the cake! 👍 👍

Neuling
Top notch as always

Hello Elias
how did you build the special pylon for the atomic device?

Michael Kohl
another very likeable fellow in your collection.

Elias Korompilis
Hello Rolf,

The pylon and the bomb are kit parts.

Rolf Schraner
Oh that's surprising…
However your Thunderstreak is an excellent build!
Thank you for the information.
Greetings to Greece

Beautiful work, as always, Elias. You're a master!

Jennifer Franklin
Gorgeous work, it's a real masterpiece.

David Culp
Looks excellent, although I am surprised to see a nuke shape on an HAF airplane.

Maciej Bellos
Excellent work Elia!

David, HAF had a squadron for using nukes just like other NATO air forces had. The nukes were stationed at Araxos AB, and we later used F-104Gs for the same mission. Obviously the nukes were guarded by US personnel and any unauthorised person that got within say 10-20ft of the device, was shot at with questions asked later. I think I have a photo somewhere of the dummy loaded on an F-84F.

Łukasz Gliński
Impressive job 👍

David Culp
Thanks for the info, Maciej. That's a bit of history I was not aware of.
