Orion Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hello Toni, Enjoyed your F-104G. I think in the German Navy colors this plane looks the best. Compliments for your excellent photographs. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirageiv Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Awesome Antoine, looks real! The seat is a model in itself, well done! I really like the top colour, what mix/paint did you settle on? Cheers, David. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally used a defined mix of Tamyia XF-66, XF-50 and XF-24 but I was never satisfied so I kept on changing the ratios and I lost track of it. I would say that it's mainly XF-66 Antoine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakakoz Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I spent about 5 minutes debating whether the first photo was your model or an actual aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that it's mainly XF-66 Antoine I believe you, exactly the same thing with me every time I paint something in RAL 7012, it is the hardest colour I have tried to match yet, still yet to find the match/mix and will investigate with your XF numbers, hoping the Colourcoats version is the silver bullet off the shelf! Anyways, excellent model Antoine David Edited October 30, 2017 by mirageiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagor Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This is fantastic! Only thing i can think off, to make it better, would be if you had put Kormoran missiles on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closer you will actually spot a few inconsistencies, for example the insufficient depth of field of the tail section Edited October 31, 2017 by toniosky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4u Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Beautiful looking F-104 with a great paint scheme and subtle weathering , the ejection seat is a masterpiece I will get around to doing mine one day and hopefully it will be half as good as yours.

I think it was worth investing in 2 spotlights, I am finally having decent pictures to show but I still have a lot to learn Antoine Edited October 31, 2017 by toniosky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I am looking forward to your "learning curve" ! Looks professional to me right now, the investment is for sure rewarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
