SaintsPhil Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Afternoon everyone, This was my entry to the F-104 STGB, the Hasegawa F-104C US Air Force boxing. A few firsts for me, my first Starfighter (not to be my last) my first proper all over NMF and my first time using Hasegawa decals! All in all it's a very nice kit, I only added a metal pitot and PJ Productions pilot. As always I'm not 100% happy with it, I had a few issues with the Alcad finish, there's the odd finger print...the decals behaved quite well, some are from an eagle strike sheet. I found that micro sol was ok in moderation even on the high shine finish. Anyway here's the pics Thanks to Giorgio for running the GB it's been fun! Any comments and criticisms are welcome, especially tips on NMF as I've got the bug now! Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Very nice indeed. Love the markings and the pilot resting his arm like that looks cool as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks gents, looking at the pics I notice there's a couple of things I've not quite finished, pilot has no oxygen hose, and I think there should be some red dots on the fuselage in various places....

SaintsPhil Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks very much everyone, it's a really nice kit, so getting a decent finish isn't too hard! I should have mentioned I painted the tail, instead of using the cream decals supplied with the kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
