Paul J Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 What's not to like a well made Firestarter. It's one of those classic 50s jets that looked futuristic. Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Very good looking Starfighter indeed. The Belgian scheme has to be my favourite. Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Absolutely stunning. Top modelling! A cracking 104 in one of the best schemes. Love the contrast of the 'vietnam' camo with the dayglo tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Absolutely brilliant! Congrats!!! How do you rate the kit, as it is on my "to get" list? JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruudster Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I really like this scheme on a Zipper. Very nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramtin Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Beautiful result. This Belgian scheme has some very nice colors! Love the orange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the orange I agree - that scheme isn't seen often and I'd forgotten the Belgians operated these aircraft. Lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 That is a great result. A super Starfighter scheme & you've caught it well. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Very neat job with a lesser-spotted scheme. Good work 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Oboy! A Zipper and in Belgian colors and markings! Very nice model! Bet @RidgeRunner will feel the disturbance in The Force, as he is somewhat enamored of Belgian '104's! Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Beautifully done! Yes, these colors and markings fit the bird well, and as others said--you did it justice. I trust that the Revell kit is relatively straightforward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I reckon you've captured that perfectly! Fantastic skills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intakes require some careful fitting but other than that, no issues! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Splendid! You have captured the appearance of the real thing very well, those colours (and yes, they are not the same as the USAF SEA scheme!) look spot on. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Excellent stuff. Love that scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Lovely kit of a lovely aircraft. If you are not already aware of them look up some videos of 'The Slivers' which were a BAF display duo of the late 1960s/early 1970s using camouflaged Starfighters for their low level mirror/opposition display sequence flown to the standards of the day which were "exhilarating" to say the least compared to today's and with the F-104 howl to go with it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
