Kit might be 'ancient' but still pretty decent kit!

I'm pretty sure Starfighter doesn't require a nose weight... but I haven't been brave enough to test out my theory yet So nose weight it is. Because even if it would be OK on one build, something like resin exhaust or different loadout might tip the scale the wrong way...

@Marklo Indeed, we're taken off for sure. .... Except me

Great! Can't go wrong with a colorful USAF Starfighter. Welcome to the GB.

@Luke1199 The Hasegawa is still a great kit Just built one in Japanese markings. And making an A out of C shouldn't require any big changes, I think 🤔

Welcome to the GB, definitely a cool camo!

@Drakendk Oo nice! A big Starfighter - and a Dirty Dane! Remember to share your secrets on creating such effective looking faded paintjob, looks brilliant!

Welcome to the GB! That is a great set of materials to make a Starfighter out of!

Great to see box full of Starfighters You certainly don't take the easy route. Good work so far!

Yeah the thing with the conversion sets is that better take it slowly so not to mess up the modifications required. But it certainly helps if they include proper instructions!

What a beautiful color... 😁 I don't think I've seen a Starfighter split up that way before. That scheme is brilliant, looking forwards to seeing it in action

@Dave Klaatu Welcome to the GB! Italian Starfighters are always beautiful, especially with those big insignia and markings. I've built that monster loadout on your last pic. I guess it was more of a theoretical loadout, not really practical one but still cool to have different kinds of setups and loadouts on my evergrowing F-104 collection If you like asymmetrical loadouts then 1xAspide under one wing and 1x Sidewinder under the other wing plus wingtip tanks are one way to go, I think this was pretty common loadout due to not being too much of a drag and wingtip tanks being supersonic capable. So many choices! 😄

I think I'm seeing double, I could swear I've seen this beautiful cockpit before!

@stevej60 Now that's a great looking Zipper, good work on the orange and metallics Love the color variation in the rear section.

What a great looking cockpit!
