Greg W Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'm looking forward to this release too. Ever since I saw Jef Verswyvles two seat 104 years ago, I have wanted to try converting the Haseagawa F-104 but could not work up the courage. alaninaustria and timvkampen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 For sure, Ive been looking forward to a two seat 104 for a LONG time, but every time I looked at the Cygnus TF-104 conversion for the Has kit, I just would close the site page and move on, as I never had the want to deal with AM resin and vac for a two seat 104. Now that the TF-104 will be out in IM, I'm really looking forward to it. alaninaustria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do it for the 1/48 scale Zipper of Monogram and it worked. Of course Hasegawa then arrived on the scene...For the 32 scale conversion you had to chop up a Tamiya F-14 cockpit hood to make the 2 parts for the zipper...in 48 scale the same recipe applied...nerves of steel. A Dutch modeller (Pieter Posthumus) was the one who invented the conversion process actually for the 32 2-seat Zipper. Jef copied this quite well.

timvkampen Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 and my 1/72rendition based on Pieter's conversion process. I built it when I was 15 (!!). Conversion of the Esci 1/72 kit (before Hasegawa crashed the scene :)). Still proud of it and now onwards to the 1/32 kit!! Wonderful times for the big scale modellers!!

Tony T Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 The Big H has them in for a penny under £100. Might shop around when finances are a little improved. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
