sandros Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Stunning Job as always Giannis (Εξαιρετική δουλειά φίλε Γιάννη!) If you allow me, I would rather see the undersides more weathered, in accordance with the wear of the upper surface. However, this note does not diminish at all the accuracy and the overall appearance of the model. (Θα προτιμούσα λιγάκι πιο λερωμένες τις κάτω επιφάνειες, έτσι ώστε η συνολική φθορά να είναι πιο ομοιoγενής. Εντούτοις αυτή η παρατήρη δε μειώνει σε τίποτε τη συνολική ακρίβεια και εμφάνιση του μοντέλου) Edited May 20, 2022 by sandros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxasg Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Sandros, thank you for your kind comments about my model. You are right for the bottom surfaces, but my choice was to keep the dirty effect in medium level. In real duty, the aircraft washed and cleaned approximately every 100 flight hours with chemical liquids but the weathered colours on the upper surfaces remained the same. This was my option for this model according the photos from the real aircraft. Thank you so much all for your kind comments!

TimB Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 That is amazing, and provides a real sense of the real aircraft. It has to be the best model I have seen for a long time, with ealistic detail, weathering and finish. Well done - I wish I could do half as well.

Luka Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 As if the colours and weathering weren't fantastic enough, the interior detail totally kicks it up to a level of awesome. Looking great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Stunning detail work and an awesome display of craftsmanship. I absolutely love it! It's the first time I've seen a Starfighter build with the radome open that way - makes for a very unique presentation. 👍 Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can bet this detail is known only to those that were working with those planes. Thank you once again Giannis for the magnificent build.

I have the CMK set for electronics bay and cockpit. It does not include details like the hydraulic lift arms, the canopy interior ventilation piping and those clasping clips (posed open) for the nose radome. Did you scratchbuild those details or they are from some other aftermarket? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Again - Greek, Starfighter, well built - and so full marks from me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR-G Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 One of the best models I have seen on this forum, very well done. I would love to build something of this quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisky Papa Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Pure dead brilliant! Looks more realistic and "alive" than the way it ended up: Ellinopyrgos, Attika. Since it looked quite familiar to me, I checked, and yes indeed: It served with MFG2, where it wasn't just used to take pics. 😉 WP 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Yasas. There is something about the soul of Greek model makers. Their aim is art. This is one of the very best I've seen on these pages, and I've been here six years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxasg Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Yes, there are many Greeks model makers in my country that they have gone this hobby to high level. Pioneer and best Greek (aircraft maker) in the world in my opinion, is my friend Tsonos Megas. All of us are inspired by him from his incredible models and continue to keep our hobby and models to high level. It will be nice experience for all of you to visit and participate in our annual Hellenic (international) exhibition at the end of October, here in Athens. Ones again thank you all for your kind words that honor me! I am really happy that my RF-104G inspire all of you. Giannis Doxas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
