F-104 nut

While building the Meng Super Hornet decided to start on another big subject the big flying Soviet Brick . Pretty much my favorite Soviet Aircraft besides the Mig-25. This will be my second Foxhound build . This kit is just beautiful . Started off with getting the interior primed with MrFinishing Surafcer 1500 black. Then sprayed the MRP Rrussian Cockpit Turqoise color. The fit of intakes and wheel wells is excellent. Still have more wheel parts to clean up and get ready for primer. Got the twin Solovyev D-30F6 turbofan engines clean up and now ready for primer

Been plugging away on the new tooled Meng Super Hornet since this kit came out a few weeks ago. This kit is way bettter then the hasegawa as in fit and detail. This kit is set up for a fure release of a F and G varient. Lets get to the kit. First of tall the cockpirt sideconsoles are not bad. Tehy could use a lille bit more detsil but still better the the hasegawa offering. The kits does provide a throttle which is rare in new tooled kits these days. The The rear cockpit deck has some etch detailt which is super nice. The fit of the intake trunks is really nice. I sprayed them with MrBase Wh

My secoond lockheed build fopr the year the 1/48 AFV U-2A . Really nice build. My only complaint is the rsaied are on the canopy and the instrument panel. Overall model painted with Tamiya NATO Black . I went for early CIA scheme that had just the number on the tail. I do have the Howdaw to paint still for it. I did a little chipping of paint with prisma color pencils and a light black pin wash on the gear an d gear bays. Ejony Brian
