Taking a seat here as well 😉

An ambitious project: I am building this TF-104 in Italian colours for a friend. The two-seater starfighter brings a welcome and extremely good-looking change to the currently somewhat corrugated metal-dominated modelling scene! In the cockpit of this beautiful Hasegawa kit you can see Eduard's cockpit interior made from etched parts.

This already looks great!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Vincent!

I've just realised that it's been a while since my last update here, so here are a few new pictures! This is the current state this morning, but today Gunze H 308 will also be applied over everything as a surface colour for the attractive Italian machine. The build itself, a friendship build for a friend, will be built with the Eduard etched parts out of the box except for the cockpit.

The Starfighter in the smart Italian colours is slowly but surely crossing the finish line: now all that remains to be done is to put the finishing touches to the last few areas that still need attention or correction. These include the position lights, which still need to be sealed with Klearfix, and a few traces of dirt and wear on the underside. Hasegawa's F-104 is still a beautiful kit that forms a good basis. However, I did a lot of upgrading on the seats and especially on the inside of the open cockpit canopies, using wire, etched parts and Tamiya masking tape. At least it now looks better than before! 🙂

It looks perfect, to me 👍

The Italians squeezed the last drop out of the Starfighter. Beautiful model you build.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Jakub and Michael, your comments are very appreciated, thank you both!

Sehr fesch geworden.

Thanks Jürgen, the 'boah-wow' is very appreciated! 🙂
I will send you a few pictures of the now really finished TF-104G later. This was a very nice, refreshing project for me without long sanding and filling sessions but, despite the solid Hasegawa quality, with a certain amount of scratch-built parts. I did the modelling of the two open cockpit canopies myself, as these should not remain empty when they are shown open.
I don't think this will be the last build of this fascinating aircraft!

Mr James
So very good. The last few pics look so realistic. This is excellent paint and weathering.

Jan Janssen

Thanks Jan!

The MT-LBs that we bought along with the BMPs stayed in service for quite a time, in various support roles.
