Col. Joseph Davis Jr. named his F-84G Four Queens for his wife, Ann, and his three daughters, Scott, Chris and Jan.
Four queen playing cards painted on the left side of his aircraft to represent a poker “four-of-kind” hand. On the right side of the fuselage was the tiger emblem of the 430th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, 474th Fighter-Bomber Wing.
The colors on the nose, tail, and wingtips of the aircraft represent the three squadrons of the 474th FBW (428th FBS, red; 429 FBS, blue; 430 FBS, yellow).
This Really beautiful 1/72 kit is from Tamiya. Molding is very crisp. Cockpit is nicely detailed. Surface detail is superb. The fit is perfect, no putty needed. Highly recommended.
