modelling minion Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Great choice Patrice. The RCAF CF-104's look really nice in their early scheme with their nice big colourful markings, just like Giorgio's Norwegian one he has made. Good start with the instrument panel.

Giorgio N Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That was very quick Patrice, looking good ! Forgot to mention the gun... if you're building an early aircraft, they generally carried no gun and had the muzzle faired over. The gun was reintroduced on Canadian Starfighters after they left the initial strike role and moved to conventional ground attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looking good, and almost finished I see. There's little that catches the eye as much as a natural metal F-104 in colourful markings ! The metalcote you used seems to be very good, the finish looks very realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Bonsoir Patrice, it seems I caught the tail end of your build! Great looking Starfighter by the way. It is incredibly colorful and sober at the same time. I love it! Did you brush paint the Humbrol Metalcote? Like you I really like this paint and it goes brilliantly with a dry brushing technique. Almost finished! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Bonjour Jr Thank you for your comments ..I only use brushes for painting .. This week I tried to paint the red band around the pitot tube boom but I failed and I will leave it like it is and place it to finish this build ...
