Starfighter Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It's an F-104, so what's not to like ? Seriously, though that's an excellent build, so thanks for sharing with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi Michael - wonderful result of one of my favorite subjects. A Marineflieger 104 is hard to beat. Excellent detailing I must say. I like the pic with the Gina as well. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello Michael, Marineflieger always good. Your model is full of details and finished to a very high standard. How about the pilot and the crew chief. Regards, Orion/The Netherlands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangesherbert Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I love the paint work Great build Michael and a great diorama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael K Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi all ,I would like to thank you very much for the kind words@ Orion:Good idea: a pilot is not the problem(Although: what should the pilot in the jet when the intake coversare installed and some maintenance flaps are open ) But seriously: can anyone tell me where figures of a German ground crew are available in 1/48 (ground crew of today's German Luftwaffe)?I've been looking for some time, but I can not find anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hello Michael, Absolutely right. No F-104 starfighter pilot (German Navy) found yet in your scale. I could find a new item from Aires, but this is 1/32 scale. I continue my search Regards, Orion/The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
