Giorgio N Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Guys. Just about to put the intake pieces over the splitter plates of my CF-104D, and was just wondering if there was a panel line along this join, or will I have to fill it? Hope to hear from someone asap, want to get to the painting stage over this weekend. Cheers in advance. I'm not sure of how the pieces are split in your kit. In the 1/72 kit the outer body of the intake is a single part and where it meets the rest there should be no junction line. There's also no junction line where they meet close to the fuselage. However if you mean the cone on top of the splitter plate, the cone and the triangular part on which the cone stands are separate and there's a junction line there.

Giorgio N Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've been thinking a bit about prizes for this STGB, and I'm thinking that at least one small prize should be given. We could do 1st 2nd and 3rd, but I feel that there are only relatively few entries, so maybe a prize for the 1st one only is easier. A few days ago I saw this patch for sale, of the type usually worn by Italian F-104S pilots and I bought it thinking it will make a fitting prize for a group build featuring the Starfighter ! I might find something else before the end of the STGB and add more prizes, but I'm not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Would anyone have a 1/48 Hasegawa F-104J in the stash that they wouldn't mind parting with? The one I ordered got 'lost' in transit. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpc7676 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Stewie, You have posted two recent builds in the gallery section but from what I can seen they don't have a build thread. I think these should be moved to the motivational build section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Folks, the deadline is approaching ! As I'm the first to be slow in these things, I can only tell all modellers building a Starfighter the same I try to say to myself every day: hurry up, the 104 is quite a small and simple aircraft....

kpc7676 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Is anyone still committed to this GB? It seems to have died a very slow death, very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Well I'm still looking in! Finished my build just need to add the pics to the gallery. I think Giorgio said he was on a business trip so that may explain the quietness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Still working but I don't reckon I shall make the deadline - seriously underestimated on the painting phase - damn!! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Dunno where else to fit these, so they are going in here. These are my three builds for this GB. Gotta say, this has been a crackin' GB. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks to Giorgio N for making it all possible. With these builds, I have completed twelve models this year. I have also more than doubled my Starfighter collection and I've been left with a yearning to build more Starfighters. I shall be building an Italian F-104S for the Tiger Meet GB and no doubt an early Dutch F-104G as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Folks, I have to apologise for my absence in the last few days, unfortunately I'm just back from a business trip that took longer than expected.... lesson learnt: never host a GB without a co-host !!!!! That would have made everyhting much easier. Now that I'm back, I'll sort all the moderation issues that occurred, so expect a few personal messages to be sent around. In the meantime, I'll walk around with my head covered in ashes.... One important thing: thanks to everyone for taking part in the GB ! I see that while there are less models than we'd have hoped, those that have been completed are very nice. I'll setup the poll to vote for the best. The winner will then receive the AMI F-104S patch.
