F-104J Starfighter, OOB Hasegawa 1/48th


Recommended Posts

I'm calling this one done, mainly due to being sick of having to patch the Alclad polished aluminium. Why that particular shade causes so many problems is a bit of a mystery. Apart from the Alclad this was a fun kit, only minor issue being the fillet to cover the space for the second seat which needed a little filling, and me putting the nose on upside down at first :banghead:

Nice one Peter. Unusual to see an F104 without any thing on the ends of the wing tips too. FWIW I think your Alcladding looks top notch.

Being honest I liked the look of it without the tip tanks - accentuates the 'manned missile' look. Same reason why I went for the scheme with white wings.

Very nice!

I saw one of these not long ago at the Taiwan Air Museum, unfortunately looking a bit shabby. Was my first time seeing one in person, bigger than I expected it to be.

Great build :) Looks very nice.
