Another late entry that will also be going to Telford - the Airfix F-104G Starfighter.
In this case, an Airfix USA boxing:
Another very simple kit with little detail. I shan't be adding much to this, just a replacement seat and pilot.
The decals are shot, so I'll be using a set of Hasegawa decals that someone on this forum sent me a few years ago - sorry, I cannot remember who it was now! They are for a Luftwaffe or German Navy machine - there are 4 options and I'll either do a Plain Jane Marine version or a two-tone LW option. Not decided yet.
Fuselage glued together:
Don't worry, the nose cone is just in place to help keep the fuselage halves aligned.

Got to love the missile with a man on it.
Re: Paul B's Airfix Starfighter
Nice choice. Not one of Airfix's finest. Looking forward to seeing it built.
All the best.

Re: Paul B's Airfix Starfighter
I think those German F-104s are some of the iconic aircraft of that era and it looks like you're off to a wizard start!

Re: Paul B's Airfix Starfighter
I´m watching, too
I`m too young to have grown up with these old kits from the 60ies, but I still like to build them, nevertheless!
I feel sorry that I miss out on this GB, but my s.o.d. keeps me too busy, at the moment.

Waiting for the day, when wars for territory will be something to be read about in history books only.
