Re: Yet another 104
I couldn't get good coverage brush painted the white on the nose cone so I decided to spray it. So the 104 got cocooned in masking tape;
So, now I've got the white done, the black, wheels on, just doing the orange on the tanks now. Its taking a lot of coats to get it even. Not there even yet. I think I'll start the decaling whilst putting on more coats of orange;

Ooh. That's starting to look a bit special.

Re: Yet another 104
With huge thanks to Marek, who has sent me a copy of the Hasegawa decals placement I can find out where many of the signs/notices/placards go on the airframe from my sheet of decals.

Re: Yet another 104 **Finished**
Great work Fred, I've just got to attempt the red stripe on the pitot now. Did you find fitting the undercarriage doors fiddly?

Re: Yet another 104 **Finished**
Yes, a bit. I used 5 to 10 sec setting superglue. On the first of the main ones I had a couple of tries to find the right angle so that I could fit the wheel.
The decal strip round the pitot was a doddle. Once it had caught at the start it spiraled nicely. Just a couple of touches to get the spacing even. Hardest bit was judging how long a strip to use. I was less than 1mm out, finished off with a touch of red paint.

Re: Yet another 104 **Finished**
I so like this Fred. I'm a big fan of camo'd F-104s over silver ones & I reckon that what you've done with this is spot on.

Very nicely done! It's the most striking scheme for the piloted missile and you have made it to be a very striking model. I like the Norm 72 scheme!

Re: Yet another 104 **Finished**
What a lovely job , brilliant camo job. I don't know why I was never a fan of the widow maker but I am very tempted to build one now.
