Description
This model is Hasegawa's F-104G
Starfighter depicted as i appeared with the Taiwanese air force in
the 1970's.
It features a Black Box resin cockpit
as well as Aires resin wheel wells.
The opening canopy section was detailed
using stretched sprue and modified leftover photo etched bits from
the parts bin.
Brake lines were added to the main
landing gear legs from nickel wire and microwire insulation.
The aircraft was painted using trusty
Model Master enamel paints using an Aztek double action airbrush.
I then applied a very diluted black
wash made of airtist's oil paint and Weber & Costello "Sansodor"
thinner.
Albatros Modelworks' excellent decals
were then applied and the model was overcoated with Aeromaster clear
flat acrylic varnish.
This is a superb fitting kit that offers many colour scheme
possibilities - highly recommended !
