CrowTRobot Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 F-104C-5-LO 56-930, 476th TFS, 479th TFW, George AFB, CA, 1959 I just finished this Hasegawa 1/48 Starfighter. I added Eduard photoetched details, but I also scratch-built a few things. I created the ducting beneath the canopy using copper wire, and I fabricated a new pitot tube from hypodermic tubing. The oxygen hose is made from magnet wire, and I rebuilt the area around the gunsight glass using bits of wire & styrene and added a dust cover made from tissue paper. The decals came from the kit (mainly stencils) and Eagle Strike. Paints used were Alclad. Testor's Metalizer, Testor's Model Master, and Floquil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
