MikeC Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Am I just not seeing the second one, or is there only one set of instrument panel decals on this two-seater kit's extensive decal sheets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 You are correct. Italeri forgot to include the decal for the second IP. jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks Dave, I'm somewhat relieved it isn't just my eyes failing me! I guess it's Airscale to the rescue ... Harold and timvkampen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan It is, but still a lot of work...The panelling is Matchbox reminiscent. Luckily someone showed the way recently on the F-8 Da Nang build here! Also, the cockpits are Fantasy Island when looking at the real thing. But that can all be fixed and I am building it now. Great kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Eduard has just released two sets for TF-104. I think only the seats make the difference: BIG ED - TF-104G w/ C2 seats 1/32 BIG ED - TF-104G w/ MB seats 1/32 Juraj Edited January 30, 2019 by Trak-Tor Kagemusha, MikeC, Daniel Leduc and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There are some differences in the side consoles in the two Eduard TF sets, but I don’t know what they are supposed to represent. One set has more blank panels. You can see the sets and instructions on Eduard’s web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'm not sure, but maybe instrmuent decals from airscale might be an alternative to the eduard PE? Maybe a little bir more to fiddle but for sure cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 While that PE looks great, did I read that Aires was going to do a 2 seat cockpit? Thanks. Chuck Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 From the seond picture did they actually make a pe part to widen the tires ? If you look at the wheel there seams to be cooper line in the midle Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck I hope so! While I know the fit can be contentious sometimes, the detail Aires provides is usually 2nd to none. 9 minutes ago, Neo said: From the seond picture did they actually make a pe part to widen the tires ?

Dave Williams Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) There isn’t a spacer for the wheels that I can see in any of the instructions, so I don’t know what that is showing in the photo. The wide kit wheels are OK for the G/S versions that used the bulged gear door, but if you need the thin wheels for the G/J/CF, the kit thin wheel option only comes with the dished A-D wheels. Same for the aftermarket Eduard Brassin resin wheels. Their late wheels are the spoked wide wheels, while the early wheels are the thin wheels with the dished hub. Neither the kit nor Eduard make the thin wheels with the spoked hub. I think if you buy both Eduard wheel sets, you can mix and match wheels and tires to get the thin wheels with the spoked hub.

Thanks Dave. After some consideration Im thinking I may end up displaying my TF in an in-flight situation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
