1976 Hasegawa F-104 E , Kicked up the ass .....art imitates life .....


Recommended Posts

  • Panzerwomble changed the title to 1976 Hasegawa F-104 E , Kicked up the ass .....art imitates life .....

Living up to it's realife subject this one crashed and burned. After three hours of patchworking metalics yesterday , TBH wasn't really working out very well , so stopped and then gingerly held it vertically whilst peeling the making tape off as the paint was still soft ....and .....slipped out of my fingers hit the desk and the wing snapped off cleanly .

 

Given how thin the wing is , and the angle of the join , pinning it looks to be a real PITA even if it's doable . 

 

So the thing lived up to it's reputation as a lawn dart and back in a box it goes. I can sit there for a while until I decide if I can be arsed with it again .

Little did you know that in 111 Sdn they painted them shocking pink and referred to them rudely as what came out of the Zipper !

 

Aha the possibilities are endless . 

Ah, yes, the F-104 "Fannyfighter":D
