Awesome finish! Such a dramatic/weathered finish...I absolutely love it.

 

 

Very avanguarde painting! I like it! And very nice build!

 

 

Outstanding!

 

Thank you all!

And most importantly, thank you for your feedback and comments during the build, too! 

[Italeri 1/32 F-104G HAF S/N32715]

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.

 

Thanks Rudy! 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....

[Italeri 1/32 F-104G HAF S/N32715]

Fantastic!

 

 

Beautiful work, great painting skills.

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!

That's a stunner, Spyros! Congrats on a great model. May I publish it on the website?

Thanks Kevin! Yes, I'd be more than happy to have it published.

I'll add the pics in the ready for inspection section with a bit more info.
