Spruemeister Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If I want to go nukular and add a bucket of instant sunshine to my 1/48 Kinetic F-104G, what is the best source for the centerline Pylon? Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KenM Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Belcher Bits have the answer http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/148conv/bb14.htm Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The DACO set has both centreline pylons and a selection of nukes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooter Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 That Belcher bits set looks just the part for your model, Spruemeister, and it's probably a lot cheaper than the Daco set ( Although that is very comprehensive ). 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I used the Belcher bits nuke for my what if 1:48 Norwegian CF-104 model posted on ARC, and the resin does need a bit of filling and sanding to get the finish I wanted. The DACO set is quite comprehensive, but also includes wings and tailplanes without those numerous divots - not filling them is a real sanity saver. And you get underwing fuel tanks and pylons too.

Dave Williams Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Since the OP is using the Kinetic kit, he doesn’t have to worry about the divots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ah, I forgot that part... Still, the DACO set will provide plenty of other parts for Starfighters... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 What about Eduard pylons? https://www.eduard.com/eduard/f-104-pylons-1-48.html?listtype=search&searchparam=F-104 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
