Fanakit Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thanks for your comments The navigation light was make from clear sprue : It's easy to do, I used a needle file for fitting the rond clear sprue to the missile rail, and after that I polished the clear part with water sandpaper, and micromesh.

RedIndian Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wow, what a lovely model. Excellent work, Ivan! Personally I never cared much about JASDF's F-104's, until now. You chose a very striking and beautiful paint scheme there and I cannot imagine how it could be "transferred" into a model any better than this. Indeed very inspiring, very clean and convincing work. Thanks for sharing the build process with your great photography. Greetings, Rafael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Beautiful model! :) If you hadn't have said I would have assumed it was 1/48 B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
