Other than the red pitot spiral I'm calling the 2 seater done.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Cheers Blue, the kit didn't come with any so I raided the spares box. The pit is just a hole with lookylikey seats and crew hide the lack of detail.Blueberryruby wrote:That's cool, i like that you have left the pilots in. A rare thing these days!

Great work. I'm not usually a fan of pilots in planes but yours looks spot on.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

I only have the canopy to unmask on the single seater, I used some adhesive foil and its a bugger to get off.

They both are quite impressive. I think you have just triggered in me an urge to make German starfighters pronto.
Re: Shane's F-104 double build ** finished**
Well done, lovely matched pair.

Cheers guys, I have one more in the stash. I plan to do it as a late 80's Italian recon bird.

As always Shane you set the bar for OOB Matchbox builds. You should post which MB kits you have completed so far as you must have done a fair portion of the aircraft.
