A Japanese Starfighter

[tomthounaojam]

Greeting folks,
After few searches on the internet finally managed to get a Hasegawa F-104J 1:72, it was a simple kit, however, the fit was bit problematic and required or need to do a bit of sanding and dried fits. After that I choose nmf scheme for the paint work, I used Tamiya paint and little Mr. Color for the painting, the decals quality was bit mixed up, somewhere were little yellowish. Here is the end aircraft, hope it turned out ok, cheers

This is a lovely build. I love Japanese jets, and I love the starfighter. The build looks great, the white wings contrasting with the red roundel and the metal tones all come together great. The best starfighter I've seen. In fact, I've got one to start soon, but not this livery, may invest in some decals. 

 

Regards
