DoogsATX Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 And after a marathon session last night - this thing is done and off the bench: Overall - glad I built it and happy to have a 104 in the display cabinet, but the sloppiness of the Italeri kit makes the finish out maddening, and the decals, even though Cartograf printed, are rather thick. If I were doing this again, I'd strongly consider doing a West German one using Daco's huge sheet. andromeda673, red baron, Geoff Staniland and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hi gorgeous F104 , very well done, it's very clean , paint and weathering are top notch ....It seems that this Italieri kit is far better than their last Mirage one ,which is a pity to built Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) She's gorgeous Doug ! Very good painting job, and the decals look good to me, i cannot notice any carrier film. It seems you used the Eduard exhaust, you have the same (little) problem than me, it protrudes a bit too much. I gave up modifying it. Hushhhhh, nobody would notice it !
