Harry Callahan Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hello friends Some of you may have been following my build report. Now it's time to hire it here at the RFI. It was different and was a lot of fun. So I am satisfied. I am open to constructive criticism. 54 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Very nice Werner. The lines are nice and crisp between the colors. Yellow is never easy to work with. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Callahan Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi guys Thank you all for your kind comments, much appreciated. Yes Mike the yellow paint was a challenge but i hope i managed it well. My goal is to make my model not like a toy, but really a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) My eyes! My eyes! Looked up high viz scheme in the dictionary and these photos were there! Seriously, that is one colorful Zipper! Jim is right- yellow is a pain in the neck to deal with, more so in the larger scales. Well done!

VolkerR. Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I always love a good starfighter and yours is awesome. Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesmodels Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Fantastic build, if mine turns out half as good I'll be pleased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I looked up the real thing and it looks more toy-like than your kit. Good weathering on the yellow and red areas, that's always difficult to pull off IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Thank you again mates, i appreciate it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Beautiful build and what a scheme! I think trying to paint black, red and yellow convincingly with all those demarcation lines would give me a heart attack but yours is perfect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hello Phil Thank you for your kind comment, well, it wasn't so difficult as what it looks like, patience, precision and always compare with the original one was necessary hehehe Edited February 28, 2021 by Harry Callahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLover Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That looks really very nice. Love the subtle weathering of this special scheme! And a Starfighter is anyway cool of course... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Well done Werner, superbly painted and weathered, it just has that WOW factor. I have just ordered the 2 seater TF-104, you are right it is a lovely kit. GAF or Marine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Excellent! I love the colour scheme and the weathering is superb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
