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.
