Plasto Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi, Here is my F-104 Starfighter. The Kit is the Esci F-104 G/S the original decals were shot so I used some after market replacements and a Pitot from Master. The model is painted is a few differing shades of Alclad. Which is the main reason I did this finish as a bit of a practice. Thanks for looking.. Plasto.. 46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_L Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Not bad for a bit of 'practice'. Looking forward to the real thing! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metodi Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Stunning build. Did you use any kind of clear over the Alclads? Edited October 8, 2015 by Metodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasto Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi, Thank you for all the kind words on my build. I enjoy painting NMF aircraft and Alclad is a great product to use. Thanks again.. Plasto.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngstROM Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Oh, I LOVE a Starfighter in Spanish markings -bathe her and bring her to my tent! Beautifully done; Alclad II is indeed great stuff to work with (fluoro orange not so much!) and someday I'll find the guts to do an all-over NMF on something... every which way!

Marcin Wojciechowski Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 A very nice model from the iconic ESCI kit. It looks very nice, but I can see a bug in the painting of the wings, which were not painted in the color of the metal, but were painted white from the top and gray "anti corrision gray". In addition, the air brakes are most often opened when the cabin is open and a pilot or a ground handling technician is sitting in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convair Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Very beautiful NMF paint, the orange colored tanks provided a very charming model. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
