CF-104 Starfighter "1 Canadian Air Group"

Thanks fanakit !

The Hasegawa exhaust is painted with Tamiya "titanium silver", then with Tamiya Black XF-1.

Then the black is polished so that the first coat of paint gives a strange effect.

This hasegawa exhaust ain't great ... ideally, it must be change for a resin one.

here is the real exhaust (second on the photo) :

Thanks you all for your comments :)

it makes me happy, you are great !

You are quite on the wright way Eric concerning my method for the camo schem :

1/ I apply on the dark grey the large Tamiya masking tape (18mm) on the area to delimitate (future green/grey),

2/ I draw on this tape the line of delimitation with a pen, observing pictures of the plane (I'm not so confident in the kit paint schem...),

3/ I withdraw the masking tape and put it on the glass on my desktop,

4/ I cut on the line I drew,

5/ I apply the new "cut" masking tape on my model

then I paint slowly with a airbrush with high dilution (about 20% paint + 80% alcohol) to prevent the green runs under the masking tape.

This method is valid for a delimiter rather clear like on this model.

For a fuzzy delimiter, after the same method, I work slowly with the airbrush on the delimitation.

This method requires a long preparation, but that is how I'm most comfortable.

I hope my English is quite understandable :) thank you Eric for having raised this point.

What a great tip! I had never thought of doing it that way. I've always cut wavy shapes on the bench, then tried to get it to fit on the model. I will definitely try this soon.
