Italeri 1/48 F-84F Thunderstreak: A Tribute to the Diavoli Rossi

The Italeri 1/48 F-84F Thunderstreak model captures the essence of one of the most prominent jet fighters from the 1950s. Powered by the Wright J-65 engine, the F-84F was renowned for its swept-wing design and was widely used by the U.S. Air Force and several NATO countries, including Italy. The Italian Air Force operated nearly 200 of these aircraft, with some assigned to the 6th Wing at Ghedi, forming the "Diavoli Rossi" aerobatic team.

This model kit offers enthusiasts the opportunity to recreate the iconic livery of the "Red Devils," featuring striking red wings and the emblematic devil with a trident. The team's legacy lasted until 1959, setting the stage for future Italian aerobatic teams. This kit is not only a piece of history but also a testament to the engineering and design prowess of mid-20th-century military aviation.
