Popular Post HartDeco Posted July 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hi all. I just finished the 1/48 Eduard offering of the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104G starfighter kit. This is the basic Hasegawa kit with some of Eduard's goodies included in the box. I added the CMK avionics bay set, resin underwing fuel tanks, and Eduard resin wheels. The model was painted with Mission Models paints and weathered with AK grey wash and some pastel powders. Thanks for watching. René 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Well that's just lovely. Love the Marineflieger scheme and yours captures it beautifully! Cracking paintwork and finishing. ATB Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 That's the very best Marineflieger F-104 model I have ever seen. Most do the two colour contrast way too stark but this one has been done to perfection. What a superb model - well done Rene! Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalako Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi Rene, Your build is very nice and you have done an excellent job with the lighting of the photos. The only concern that I have when I look at your build is the impression that German aircrafts were not that dirty and I'm referring to the paint job. Without being an expert on Marineflieger, I believe their aircraft were much more clean. Another thing that I would like to notice is that the riveting on the wings was not that obvious. This is something that I also intend to correct on my F-104. What do you think? What references did you use to reach this weathering outcome? Cheers Shalako 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDeco Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thank you Shalako. I know about the rivets on the kit wings and fuselage but I think it makes it look a bit more interesting than a plain surface. The paint on the Marineflieger Starfighters could be very worn or bleached. Probably due to the missions over sea. See this photo I found on the internet as an example: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Great looking Starfighter!!! Sad nobody ever produced a GAF pilot in 1/48 with the 70s/80s gear and helmet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
