Dondy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi folks Here is my entry for this years (Bodensee) GB. I will use a 1/32 Revell F-104G with a TrueDetails Resincockpit, some scratchbuilding and TauroDecals. The main problem will be airbrushing the tigerstripes as there are no decals for them. But I hope I will somehow come close to the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dondy Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Here are some shots of the TrueDetails Cockpit for the F-104. Sadly it's a bit "dirty" and I have to clean it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dondy Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 another great choice! dondy, where did you get the true-details-cockpit? Hi Starfighter I got the cockpit from www.buyamodel.com. Don't know if they still have them in stock. I bought mine about 1 year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Dondy, is the dirt molded on? Great! Nice choice... Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I tossed the idea using the resin cockpit as it represents a G-Version and not an S-Version. And as I won't open the canopy I will now use the Revell cockpit tube with some small adjustments But first of all, I have to scratch build a new ejection seat. I'm using an old Revell Phantom II seat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dondy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Some update on my seat. I used some Milliput for the upper cushion and a resin block for the parachute housing. It's a little bit too small I I don't care For the seatbelts I used some Tamiya tape and aluminium kitchen foil. It doesn't look exactly like an GQ7A but what the heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Ready for painting And as the seat is too high I have to cut and glue the canopy in the open position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondy Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Some scratchbuilding in the tube. I used the TrueDetails cockpit as a guide. And I also altered the instrument panel a little bit, to replicate a S-Version panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
