LSP_Ron Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks folks! You've talked me into the white tip tanks version. Now for the green. There are 5 or 6 versions of it out there. I have the IPMS Canada color chip book which is the real paint. None of them look like that picture. The picture is a far lighter and more olive green. The color chart are all so dark they are almost black. I dabbed a little FS34086 onto a chip and I think it's what I will go with if I can find some. I also got a little building done. Glued the panels in for the gun and air brakes. Glued the tail onto each fuse half and started the cockpit.

LSP_Ron Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 I've actually done something on a model! The Hase cockpit is pretty basic so I didn't spend much time on it. This one will have the can of peas closed. Not much to say about the build to be honest. A little putty here and there and it's ready for paint. F`s are my favs, Shaka HI, MikeC and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The Starfighter is one sexy aircraft...for a jet. :-) I think you made the right choice of colour scheme too. The green with the white tanks will be a nice stablemate to the NMF one. Great, and fast, work so far! Derek B and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 But, you need to clean that filter first! Great progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) This is looking terrific. Dang! I was just going to tell you to stick with your original scheme, with the cool white tail of the 76 Air-Meet scheme.

Shaka HI Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 How does this kit compare to the Italeri offering or am I comparing Apples/Oranges here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Nice! Looking forward to the green color! HÃ¥kan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 How does this kit compare to the Italeri offering or am I comparing Apples/Oranges here? I don't know about Apples and Oranges. The Italeri kit is more detailed for sure especially in the cockpit area but the Hase kit isn't all that bad for it's age. The biggest downfall is surface detail. Hase's is all raised (but fine) panel lines where the Italeri kit looks like it was engraved with a chainsaw. I personnally prefer the Hase kit and would suggest an AM cockpit. My next 104 will be a Hase two seater conversion. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 The color is down, next step is a clear gloss coat on Sunday and decals. Note the new filter... Out2gtcha, R Palimaka, BradG and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
