Jens Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Stunning paint job! However, the inner fins are mounted backwards. Jens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holzhamer Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Beautiful work, getting this worn out faded paint work is surely a lengthy task. Danish F-104 are my favourite and your model does them justice, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 First, well done on an excellent rendition of a Danish classic. Second, do you have a Draken and F100 in your sights? Third and last I think the Danes were very clever in that they created a beautiful paint job that was self camouflaging! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 You have really captured the very particular weathering seen on RDAF F-104s (and some of their other types including the Hunter, F-100 and Saab Draken). Thanks too for the explanation of the weathering. I am planning a RDAF two-seat TF-104G Starfighter so this advice and guidance will prove to be extremely useful. Again, a GREAT build and an EVEN better finish ! Well Done, Sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Does anyone know exactly why Danish jets of this era were so susceptible to this level of weathering. I doubt very much that it was due to poor maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt very much that it was due to poor maintenance. I ve read that Danish Air Force used until late 70’s poor quality paint, matt green witch fades after few months. After 1979 they started using gloss green with better characteristics. Anyway some places on danish planes look more like abstract painting than needful maintenance 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
