F-104G "KLU" - Italeri 1/32

Hi All,

 

This is Italeri's 104 with Reskit exhaust, Master pitot, Eduard wheels and seat. A few additions here and there but otherwise a straightforward build.

The kit has its pros and cons and I think others have already given enough feedback about it.

This plane was based in Leeuwarden (Netherlands) during the late 70' - early 80'. "D-8115" markings are paint otherwise I used the (top-notch) decals from the box.
Paint is AK Real. Photos taken outside so light varies a little bit...

Cheers

Tristan

outstanding !!! love the mottling, and weathering on the tail pipe. the seat is out of this world (i wish Italeri's reissue of their 1/12 scale seat was even close to this). i find it hard to believe modellers can produce such perfect builds as this - boggles the mind. I know this kit has some detractors but it looks perfect to me.

 

i sat in the cockpit of a Canadian 104 a month ago or so. it's crazy that a plane that could fly as fast as this was still so "analog" on the interior - toggles ands switches which look like ones you can buy at the local hardware store.
