I remember having a solid gray molded plastic model of this aircraft as a boy. It maybe had a three inch wingspan. In my mind the straight wings with the tip tanks is distinctive. Later versions of this aircraft had swept wings.
It was the first tactical nuclear bomber of the USAF.

This F-84E is beautifully restored and is marked to represent the F-84G flown by Col. Joseph Davis Jr., commander of the 58th Fighter-Bomber Wing in 1953.

It had six 50 cal machine guns plus it could carry rockets or bombs. I was used to escort B-29's on raids into North Korea.
