CanadaMoe Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Hello All, I'd like to join. Always fun to build a Matchbox kit. My CF-104 will be a Canadian Starfighter in Tiger Meet livery. I'm going to use a Hasegawa F-104 decal sheet because it has the tiger head for one of the Meets. The code will not be accurate. I bought the kit at a swap meet and it came is two wing tanks from an ESCI kit. (The original kit does not come with wing tanks.) So, I'm good to go. Here's a shot of the sprues, wing tanks and decals. Edited October 15, 2017 by CanadaMoe Change Imgur link to "Direct Link" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This will be good. I've never seen the Matchbox Starfighters parts breakdown or actually built, so will be looking forward to seeing your steady progress with this one. Great to see a Canadian Tiger scheme as well. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Yay. I built the Canadian version in the kit many, many years ago, unpainted. My kit was light blue and white. To my eye it looked darn fine. I'll follow along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
