Warlord Photo File from Warlord No. 411, dated 7 August 1982. The Republic RF-84F Thunderflash. It states in the text it was a development of the Thunderjet but reading up on it shows it was really a variant of the later Thunderstreak.

Confusingly the Thunderjet and the Thunderstreak were both known as the F-84 (the Thunderstreak being the F-84F) but were quite different planes.

The Thunderflash was given the added 'R' prefix for 'Reconnaissance' and had loads of cameras. Other than that I don't know very much about these planes. Although they were used by various NATO forces I would say in the UK this family of jets aren't that well known.

(The fact that he looks like the fandom depiction of Thunderstar is a complete coincidence, I haven't read DOTC, I only realized bc @colacat53 pointed it out to me)

A set of commissions I did for Thunderflash! Sorry for being a little quiet lately guys, been caught up in job hunting and IRL crap (also playing RDR2 haha)! I really loved working on this set, it was a nice challenge to draw the different armors and weapons :D I will soon start on the queued commissions that people requested! My commission status can be found on my Trello board.
