Skyhunter66 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 This the third Italeri 1:32 Starfighter and I think it is an excellent kit. II've wanted to do a Spanish version for some time and am pleased with the result. I added Eduard cockpit detail and masks but otherwise it is all OOB. I used Revell enamel for main ADG colour and Alclad for the meta parts. I haven't attched the wing tanks permananently as I quite like it without them - I have shown photos with and without below. Big thanks to MikeC who kindly sent me some decals after a cock up! Also thanks to other memebers on here for help with the colour for the main colour - appreciated. I have an Italeri 1:32 F104 A/C to do although I might see if I can swap that for a 104G so I can do a Belgian or Dutch Starfighter. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 That's beautiful! The natural metal external tanks look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 That's turned out very well. It's a shame Italeri only provide one ladder in the TF kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Very nice! Felicidades! 🇪🇸 One question though: Does the nozzle stick out too much or did you use the long feathered type on purpose? Not sure something puzzles me at the hot end .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
