spyrosjzmichos Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi all! Here's my latest work, Italeri's 1/32 kit of the F-104G Starfighter. The model depicts an aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force with the S/N 32715 which was one of the decal options offered by the kit. Photos of the particular plane show it with heavily chipped wingtip tanks. A few aftermarket accessories were used including CMK's resin cockpit, Eduard's resin wheels and PE gun bay and BestFong FOD intake covers. The model was painted with a combination of Hataka, Mig Ammo and Alclad paints. Weathering was done with the use of Ammo and AK Interactive weathering products as well as oils (a first for me). Despite its minor shortcomings Italeri's Starfighter was fun and enjoyable to build and in the end you will get a large and wonderful replica of this iconic aircraft. Can't wait for the two seater to be released! Emilio, Zero77, Seversky and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shujaa Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Very nice Spyro !!! You certainly have done this old lady justice in her HAF-colours. Looking forward to Your next build. Maybe a nice HAF Phantom to keep the lady company...?!?!?! Regards Rudy. spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I did the F-104 was cause my previous mishap with an F-15I (which was almost done and then I dropped it...). So now I will be revisiting the F-15I. I managed to save a few parts, notably the cockpit and weapons and have already began work on it. Positive thing is I am following Chuwk's and Milan's (F'saremyfavs) work on their own F-15s and they are full of tips! So should make life a bit easier. Provided I don't drop it again....
