modelling minion Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Nice choice Lex. And a great selection of aftermarket goodies and decals, I do like the camouflaged Belgian F-104's and I would like to see how the Daco decals perform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 A solid start, and nice to see a F-104G in the markings of a different country rather than the usual ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Looking very much like an F-104 Lex, nice work and great progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yep, certainly looking Starfighteryish, sharp and pointy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Got the Starfighter primered today. I'll try to do the underside tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Done some airbrushing and masking and did the last color today; But I was a little bit curious how it turned out and demasked a small part. There is almost no difference so I will have to redo at least one of the colors. I think the easiest way is to repaint the dark green color and make it a little darker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Second try on the darker green color and this time more luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Nice work Lex. Shame about the greens issue. What paints are you using? James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks James. I'm using Vallejo model air paints. Used 71.016 / 125 / 289 and 296 for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
