I finally managed to finish one of 104 Italeri I had just bought when available, It represents an F-104S CBO (fighter-bomber) "mud movers" based on Rimini AB. 
Assembled OOB apart the AMS Seat (very good indeed).
Decals are a mix of (great) Zotz and some (poor) original Italeri, numbers as usual are painted with mask cut with the plotter.
Of course I added some parts of my production like SUU-21 dispenser, pylons with sway braces and a couple of inert Mk82.

Beautiful plumage.

 

Last time I saw Italian Zippers was when a pair shot over the runway threshold at Yeovilton like a pair of bats out of hell.

Very fast touch-downs.

 

The Luftwaffe used to do a paired slow and fast flyby - simultaneously ! You could hear the sky crack open with the transonic one, something I only ever saw matched by F-111Fs, wings swept fully back, with their twin TF30-P-100s in A/B.

 

Happy Days. A lovely model Onosendai.
