Jamme Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) HI everybody. I'm in with the new (so much discussed.....) 1/32 Italeri F-104G. I've started the seat an pit, but I have no time (Just received my Macbook back from repair, so many things to fix....) to put pictures from the job today. Will put them tomorrow with MY comments from the build. Thank you for looking, Cheers, Jamme Edited January 8, 2014 by Jamme Iain and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamme Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Thank you all for your interest. Really appreciate. For documentation i use the pics on this really interesting site: http://www.aircraftwalkarounds.be/Starfighterpage_English.html So as promised the first pics of the assembly start. I precise, it will be an OOB build I started as per the instructions. Here are the components of the Seat. Belgian F-104G's had the Lockeed seat Painted the parts following the instructions in Gunze H317: This is the first error on the instructions........ Following my doc on the above link, I believe it would be a much lighter shade of grey..... So I repainted all parts in Gunze H308, and it looks much better. So here a picture of the seat painted, not yet assembled, and without any highlights or weathering done: The other colors are all Valejo, painted with a brush, somme mixed up. I then started the tub and IP: Here are the parts: And here they are painted, as above without weathering, only a little dry brush on the black. I made the fire button that is missing or too small on the stick. Following the instructions the rear bulkhead and the seat rails should be red (??????) Did follow my documentation: Here a pic from the IP, almost finished: That's it for the moment, will try to work a little bit this afternoon....... Thank you for looking. Constructive comments and questions always welcome. Cheers, Jamme Edited December 8, 2013 by Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamme Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi Mark and Matt. Thank you for looking and for the comments. Matt: At this point of the build I should say a seat and a pit. The original pieces are not bad and I can live with it, so...... Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Looks great so far. I think Im with Mike and the guys that I will use this thread as a berometer for possibly picking one of these up (or waiting to see what the AFV offering will be like) Looking forward to more!
