Mikey-1980 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Probably the quickest build yet for here, but fun none-the-less....Not the best of kits, with a number of fitment issues and inaccuracies when it comes to the cockpit. It's a basic kit, it's not all that bad. I don't think it is worth the £32 price tag for the kit though. hey ho. Full build log here if you care for a look-see? Anyways, here's my version of the F-104C Starfighter of Capt. Jonathon Christopher from the Start Trek episode - "Tomorrow is Yesterday" Enjoy! Tried a little weathering around the engine. I didn't want to overly do it. I thought I'd try a little "action" shot of the Starfighter "taking off" looks OK> 🤣 And my lazy bottom co-pilot through-out the build - Willow... Hope you all enjoyed the pics and the build? Next up with be over in the vehicle forum for the Polar Lights DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future 2..........

SAT69 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Your build looks nice. Regarding the kit, on the other hand, the front fuselage, in front of the engine intakes, looks foreshortened, something akin to what the XF-104 featured. Might be photo angle but that stuck out to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyg352 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 That's a decent looking 'Missile with a Man in it'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-1980 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 You're probably absolutely right there @SAT69 it is a very basic kit, but effective. Cheers @jimmyg352 interesting to learn more about the F-104 and its development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
