Reach for the Stars **Finished**

A Whiffery GB for any type of model. Simple decal changes, mild surgery or major. But all must have a story to back it up, no matter how silly or unbelievable.
The GB runs from 15 Sep through 16 Oct, and your host is FredK.

Yup, sure looks good. 8-)
Although i'm not a big fan of the F-104's lines, that camo looks good on anything, and this just gave me an idea for a kit bash, thank you very much! :twisted:
