Thanks for all the tips on decal printing also, I'm saving this topic for the future when I have a try for myself. Your stencils look indistinguishable in quality to the Vingtor markings which is saying something as I class Vingtor decals as the best I've used yet, really well done. David Thanks to all, really appreciated. Glad you like it and that you have found some interesting idea in this build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Excellent workmanship, Giorgio! The finished model is beautiful - thanks for letting us come along for the ride. I'll be trying those acrylic metal finishes based on your recommendation. It seems I'm always looking for something that is better than what I use now. Modellers! Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great result, Giorgio! Thanks for sharing your project with us and your many updates - I looked forward to seeing how the build was progressing and learning even more about Norwegian Starfighter use. I've also enjoyed reading your take on the Hasegawa kit and as much as we both love it, I have high hopes that another manufacturer will step into the breach with a 21st century offering (I've already nominated Tamiya or Eduard to do this); perhaps our friends at Platz would care to start a series with an F-104J? Anyway, congratulations on the splendid result and good luck with finishing the Marineflieger jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 An excellent result Giorgio. This has been a stunning build from start to finish and is a real credit to you, I love the colour scheme and you have really done it justice. Very well done. Craig.

Anyway, congratulations on the splendid result and good luck with finishing the Marineflieger jet. Thanks Andrew ! I agree with your view, it's maybe time that a new 104 kit hit the market. Platz would very likely make a fantastic kit, but it would also be expensive and harder to get in Europe. An Eduard Starfighter would be fantastic ! In the meantime I see that a number of Japanese shops have the old Hasegawa kit for very good prices, I may treat myself to another couple...

Smithy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Fantastic build! I was very lucky to see (and hear) Eskil Amdal take the first flight of the restored F-104 from Bodø in September 2016. The noise even on running up was incredible much more than an F-16 which I hear everyday And how's that for an old girl, the F-16 which flew with her was having trouble keeping up when Eskil really gave it some welly!

Tim Thanks ! I am of course a bit envious, must have been great to watch that flight. I'm very happy that there's a 104 flying in Europe, wish this venture the very best of luck ! Ah the noise of the Starfighter... that was great ! Very few other aircrafts come close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
