mamo104 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hello Boys! Just because I do not have enough, I start with another 104 more precisely, a TF-104G of the Belgian Air Force. To be more precise, we are friends we are making 7 7 104 all Belgians, TF 2 and 5 single, to be reproducing the whiskers on a flight line! I am more taken back by all, but I am committed to finishing it in less than 2 months. Then the configuration that I want to make it like you see in the picture (http://www.sbap.be/archivalia/pictures/pics%20129.jpg) that is with a container instead of the SUU-21 tanks under the wing. I would like to present it in a taxi, so I've got two drivers in the resin of PJ Productions, beautiful, and the set Aires to the interior, and of course the beautiful decals of DACO. Learn how to work the interior ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 OOOH, a Starfighter! Probably the best looking American jet ever, you have my attention Sir! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafrobbo Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Got a few of these myself so I'll be watching. Love the belgian camo scheme and remember the pairs aerobatic team when Greenham Common was the base for the International Air Tattoo. I will be putting a post up soon for any F-104 experts to clear up what I need for a set of Canadian CF-104's I want to make, G's and D's. Seems like there are so many differences and the Hasegawa kits don't have all the sprue parts to make Cf-104's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Looking good! For some reason I've always thought that the two seat version actually looks better than the single seater, but that's just me! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Looking good! For some reason I've always thought that the two seat version actually looks better than the single seater, but that's just me! Mike. Yep totally agree - looks far sexier( More Kate Beckinsale, and less Jodie Kid), and Mamo - I reckon this is going to look lovely. Good start on the pit there.

mamo104 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 After managing to enter the cockpit inside the fuselage Aires, after a great job of thinning of the fuselage, I closed everything and plastered where necessary. After sanding properly, re-recorded and where the panels were gone, we are ready to start applying the camouflage the model. The colors are GUNZE, ie the 'H-311 for the lower part, the H-27 with an addition of two drops of red to produce the light brown, the H-309 for the darker green and the H -340 for the lighter green. Of course first of all apply the model to bring out the shading panels. And finally completed the camouflage: And now two steps of clear gloss and we are ready to apply the decals.

Giorgio N Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Very nice ! If you're interested in building another F-104 in the near future, we'll be having a group build dedicated to the Starfighter, starting early august: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234913055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamo104 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Once the washing with tempering and after applying the decals say that these elements are nearing completion! Here you can appreciate the work done with the airbrush, dust and temper. Once the washing with tempering and after applying the decals say that these elements are nearing completion!

jenshb Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Nice work done quickly. Like the weathering on the belly as well - matches my perception of Belgian Starfighters. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Nice work! Especially on weathering the aft fuselage and the paint detail on the IP's. Note that the "radar" scope on 104's usually has a dark orange appearance. I first painted the scope a dark metal colour (steel or something) and then a big drop of clear orange over it. Looking forward to seeing more! Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyK Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Great stuff, I really like the pilots and the paint detail. Those and the nose wheel makes it really come to life. I can hear the J-79 howl already! Also, very interesting to see the under-wing tanks only. Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
