No one will notice that.I am loving this build. Cant wait to see the finished Spad!

Im with you Chuck. Im on the fence. Maybe these pics will hlep.BTW they show how how well your rivets look like the the real thing.

Looks outstanding. Good call on the Alclad over metal foil. The rivets look amazing and add a huge amount to the surface detail.

I cant wait for each post.You have a "style" that at I admire. When you changed the shape of upper engine nacelles I thought " this guys crazy" but you made it look easy. Cant wait to see more.

I cant wait to see the aircraft with paint.I think it will be mind blowing and thanks again for taking the time to help us all improve our skills.

Chuck, I admire your work and thank you for taking the time to share with us. I wondered if you had considered metal foil for your CF-104. I remembered seeing this article on LSP and being impressed with the result. https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2604 I look forward to future updates. Mark

That is some out of the box goodness right there.I hope you have more to share.

Wow! Looking great!

Fantastic result.I cant wait to see more...

Great build and lots of good tips.Thanks for taking the time to share. The Starfighter will be epic!

Here is the best weathering I have ever seen. Maybe you can get some tips from this site. I worked on aircraft 22 years I would say he has it spot on.https://chriswauchop.com/

Erik, I recomend the Isracast Pythons.I thought they looked bad in the box but when I built and painted them they look really good.I have to argee that the block 40 wheel hubs and the Python missle rails are not the best.These are Tamiya rails that I managed to get in trade.HTH Mark
