Popular Post Thant Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hello fellow modelers! After two and a half months of work, it finally came to an end. It's a Mig Ammo's re-box version of Kinetic F-104 series. The kit is nice with a lot of details and no noticeable fit problems found. I detailed up a bit using Black Dog's gun bay and electronic compartment. Instrument panel, FOD covers, a few wiring, etc. are scratch - detailed. Remove before flight tags are from Eduard. The kit provides a lot of decal and paint options and I chose to go for Hellenic Air Force scheme. Decals are excellent as they are printed by Cartograf. I also made a small base and used Plusmodel's boarding ladder. Far from perfection and not fully satisfied but I think it still looks nice and presentable. Merry Christmas to you all! #tzwstarfighter 72 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Fabulous Starfighter. Awesome paint work and weathering Thant. Great choice of markings, I like Greek aircraft as they provide a good basis for weathering! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Very nice indeed. I like the FOD covers and flags but seem to remember that before any of those are fitted the chocks go in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_stela Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Excellent!!! I love the details and weathering! I also like the paint scheme you chose (I'm currently working on a Greek F-102 in a similar scheme)! Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot the chocks which can be scratch -built easily.😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
