nomalbill Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Right now, first thing to do is testing assemble. Test and test again to fit the resin parts to the main body. Edited December 8, 2011 by nomalbill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) good work so far, please try to modify headrest for the seat, the one you have is the headrest as used in Germany and Denmark, we in Italy had a larger headrest for Martin Bakers: Photo By Pierpaolo Maglio, for private modelling purposes only, all rights reserved.

Paolo Maglio Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) By the way,you are really a F-104 expert. Thank you, I was lucky to live 40 years with them, I was bors in June 1969 just when the first F-104S were delivered to 23°Squadron CIO at Rimini-Miramare, just 500 metres from my home and my father worked with them.

Lieuwe Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Wow that looks seriously great! What scale is this? 999 was perhaps my favorite 1-0-4 paintscheme ever, I drew it a while back; I really wish there was a more modern 104 kit in 1:32 that allowed a TF to be built too!

Very nice painting. It is a 1/48 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 very good work so far, just remember to close the hole behind the front nose gear in the first photo to the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Super work my friend. I like everything your doing. Now, if I can talk you into posting larger photos of your work will be awesome. In fact, individual pic of each one you posted as a bundle would be a great start ;) Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 One of the sweetest sounds was it roaring overhead and then again hearing it taxi next to us. Was glad to see it before it finally retired. Nice work on your 999. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paolo Maglio Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) great work Billy, just mind the new auxiliary intakes opened downwards on the S and its derivates so you need to remove the two sway braces from your kit as well.
