Geno Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Simply brilliant! Fantastic looking Zipper. Removing the rivets really paid off and I also like the appearance of the sindwinder's seekers. Geno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Beautifully finished David. It's been a pleasure to follow this build and I look forward to seeing the Luftwaffe 104 in the RFI section when you feel like tackling it again.

Removing the rivets really paid off and I also like the appearance of the sindwinder's seekers. Geno Cheers Geno! The seekers ended up being a compromise really, naturally they should be clear but it proved very troublesome to make them clear, and still have the metallic-blue appearance they had, in the end I just painted them that way which whilst not so technically accurate looks ok imho On 5/28/2017 at 10:44 PM, Lowbrow said: Wow.

I will get around to the other one evenutally (way too much DACO stuff already sunk into it for it to be shelved indefinitely) but I need a break from 104s I think now! I look forward to your completed example too. 23 hours ago, NontasB said: David your F-104 is absolutely great!! One of the best Starfighters I've ever seen!!

Sabrejet Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A bit late to the game, but yes: perfect and the best 104 model I've seen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Good that there is no ladder or I should have tried to climb aboard. Wonderfully realistic. Nothing short of a winner; one of the very best 104s I ever saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
