72modeler Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 What's not to like? It's a Zipper and it's in WGAF colors! Nice job! Bet @Starfighter and @RidgeRunner are going to like this one! I would have thought they would have felt the disturbance in The Force created by your build and beat me to the first reply! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ah ha, Mike!!! I woke, felt the rumble and this is my first post! A very nice build of Kelly’s beauty. As Mike says “what’s not to like!”.

Creepy Pete Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Nice build, but a minor nitpick. Norm 72 was the name of the similar scheme used on the F-4F's and RF-4E's. On the F-104G's it was Norm 63. (The number is the year it was introduced, and F-104's had this scheme well before 1972). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitpicking no...educating yes! Thanks you for letting me know, this genre is new to me and I am learning a great deal as I go. Thank you Cheers Shaun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Beautiful F-104G. I like that the kit features underwing tanks. So many kits don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of massive levels of weathering (primarily because I'm not particularly good at it!!) Cheers Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
