Popular Post Dansk Posted March 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, here is my recent completion for the Interceptors group build. It’s a Danish CF-104D made from kinetic’s 1/48 release and is OOB except for some (rubbish) decals that all silvered badly. Starboard side is going through a process of fixing that issue but Port side is shown here, with lesser but still present silvering and all. here’s the build thread: and it’s based on this airframe... And here with her older sister- Edited March 7, 2021 by Dansk 125 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reini Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Well that is simply brilliant! Really faithfull representation of the original plane. To make a worn plane like this requires true skill, really well done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Wow. That's fantastic and very very realistic. I'd really like to build a worn and weathered Danish F-104 or F-100 one day, could you tell me how you achieved the worn paintwork as it looks superb! 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see in the build thread the process but to save you trawling through 8 pages of waffle, if my memory serves correct: i primed it in grey, preshaded in a deep sea blue, then a layer of olive drab, then i faded areas with a light gray mixed with olive drab, then a panel line wash, then decals, then oils, mostly white with a few smaller spots of mustard and grey. then the panel line painted touch ups that are done on the real thing i just did manually with a small brush - i couldn’t think of a clever way of doing that. Oh and i hand airbrushed some details in the paintwork. the metal chips were done with a metallic pencil. Edited March 7, 2021 by Dansk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Absolutely superb! It’s so much more difficult to make something look worn and used than have a factory fresh look. Amazing paint and finishing skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Fantastic! I don’t know how I’ve missed it until now. I am re-discovering my love of the F-104 and jets in general and this and Werner’s ( @Harry Callahan ) build have been an inspiration.
