stusbke Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 looking good my friend looking real good are you also planning on rescribing this beast?? if not then your already on the home stretch with one well at least you will have lots of work to do on the paint job. Looking foward to the next update, if I may ask ypu what the dimensions are for the extra belly fins I can't weem to find any decend scale plans of the F-104s greetz STB Frederick Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Rescribing? No, not this one Don't have the time otherwise it would be a really good idea doing this. I've just shooted the first paint on it. Grey as primer on the underside and black on top. I will try to mask the "black flashes" with liquid mask and than shoot the white and yellow on top of it. I hope it will work this way. An sorry I also don't have any idea what the dimensions of the fins are. I just looked at some photos and did it by best guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Painted the underside white, than masking it off and shooting some black on top of it. Afterwards masking all the areas which should stay black and now shooting some white first and than the yellow paint ... I hope it will work this way with the liquid mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
