F-104S/CIO mm 6869 51' stormo 22' gruppo caccia Istrana Air Base 01/10/1989

[Phoenixs]

1/32 scale Italeri kit improved in many areas: Cockpit area rebuilt and converted to S / CIO version with the help of Eduard photoetched parts, Anyz details, and Eduard brassin seat. Improved gear areas with self costruction, Anyz details and Brassin wheels. The entire fuselage has been reworked to reduce the size of the original panel lines. Oxygen compartment and parachute compartment of the MBL company. Pitot tube master model. Res / Kit exhaust cone. Painted with gunze on the side with nato camouflage and Tamiya lacquers for the special color area. Lower area in alclad. Decal zotz used only to create masks: all the decoration on the special color side is painted, except for the cat's eyes. Stencil from the excellent kit sheet. AIM-7E and AIM-9L eduard brassin: they are equipped with a magnet to be able to remove them at will (small poetic license since being a special color there are no photos of the armed specimen).

That's wonderful, I helped Eli research that aircraft for the decal sheet, so very happy to see someone model that plane.

Very nice 104 and I particularly like the cockpit.  Those seat emergency pull handles are superb!
