LanceR21 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Good evening guys! This is my latest kit. I don't know what to say about Revell - I was expecting good kit but to be honest, it's not. Maybe some of you here had good experience with this one or maybe I just expected too much and quick build, 10-14 days. It really looks like Hasegawa and I believe it is a copy but it lacks rivets and some details, panel lines too. Couldn't keep it more basic as you can see. OOB with added seatbelts on GQ-7A ejection seat. Decals were big problem since Hellenic Starfighters had stencils written on Greek (left and right side under the windshield, control surfaces, etc.) so I had to improvise and make homemade stencils. Few of them are missing, maybe I'll add them later. Same goes for stencils on fuselage, they were not provided by Revell... I will be definitely more serious with 1/48 - standard F version... All the best, Nenad Edited October 23, 2022 by Julien No promotion of instagram or any other pages. Please read the rules on that. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Wow! What a cracking hooter! 👍 I think the 3 tone camo really suits the F-104 and you've done a fabulous job. The paint and weathering are just perfect. Thanks for sharing 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very end of my build, I realized that Your Starfighter is also RF-206 but too late for me to make some changes... anyway, 1/48 is on the way.

RidgeRunner Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 What can I say.... it’s a Starfighter and so is deserving of praise. I agree about the Revell kit but it isn’t a Hasegawa for sure. Nice! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi Nenad, for all the imperfections you are listing, your F-104 is looking splendid. There is more to modelling than counting rivets and moving panel lines by 0.1 mm. I am sure you had a lo of fun building it, and this is what matters. I love it!

Ventsislav Gramatski Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Excellent build, Nenad! The Greek AF paint scheme is quite catchy with that white radome, and I really like the subtle weathering around access hatches. I received the same Revell kit as a gift last year, although mine is a boxing with Luftwaffe markings. It doesn't look bad but it's pretty basic. I think the tooling is from the early 90s? Is it accurate, how's the fit? I don't know much about the Starfighter and I'm on the fence if I should attempt to build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
