Platz / Eduard A-4 Skyhawk in an in flight display. The Scooter looks quite nice on the ground but really cool in flight. I am a bit curious how it will come out in the end.

Happy Modelling, Christian

Spanjaard
I am sure it will come out fantastic 🙂, base looks great already

Christian Bruer
Thx Spanjaard 🙂 It looks quite nice when in place, but I have one point with the acrylic rod I will use and the hole in the background to hold it. I thought about to place some cotton around it, but I am not sure. But let's see, time and test will tell.

Panel line wash and colour modulation.
Happy Modelling

Bruce Huxtable
Really neat, and subtle too. Can't wait to see the finished display 🙂

Christian Bruer
Thank you Bruce 🙂

Michael Kohl
Really like it. I'd appreciate a word or two about the base.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Michael 🙂
What do you want to know about the base?

Michael Kohl
Ah. I thought the front had a special shape and wanted to know where you aquired it. But now I see that I was fooled by the white block in front of it.

Robert Podkoński
How did I miss that? Watching with pleasure!

Christian Bruer
@Michael, ok got it. The black wooden base was made by Roland Dörrich Diosockel. I can highly recommend Rolands work.
The background is a photo printed on a 4mm frame done by a online printshop.

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Robert 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
Wow that looks nice! So tiny in 144!

Doubtingmango
That is a fun little kit

I think the colors should be two tones of green rather than green and brown.

Fauzan R.
Yes, the paint should be different than the usual RAF dark green and brown scheme

Fauzan R.
I found few faults of this kit for fitting and few minor mold misalignments, probably due to how old the mold is. But nonetheless, it is still fun and few fixes wouldn't hurt.

Ben M
It looks like a quite nice kit. Your masks look perfect. The buffalo I built was the matchbox 1/72 kit which isn't the best, but I built it when I was kid, so I wanted to see if I could do better this time

Mr D
No shortage of masking to do on a Buffalo 🤣, Looking good 👍👍 doing nice job 👍

Fauzan R.
Thank you for the encouragement Ben and D

Doubtingmango
Those colors look great

Mr D
Engine n pilot looking 👍👍 good.
Do you do a silver undercoat?? I'm learning about paint processes so ant tip will help.
Nice work..😀👍👍👌

Fauzan R.
Thank you Doubtingmango, I was experimenting quite a lot with paint mixing for this until in the end I just trust in my feeling 🤣

Yes I used Alclad Airframe Aluminum for undercoat, though I had to tone it down with a lot of flat clear. I don't feel to just use silver paint for it since gear and some underside sub-assemblies has similar color for it 😊

Mr D
Ok ... Thanks Fauzan...👍👍
Good to learn about the flat toning down the silver too.
Good luck on next steps .😀👍👍

Ben M
Looks great!

Fauzan R.
Thanks Ben, it's getting close to finish. I hope I can finish it by tonight.

Ben M
The finished pics are great. I love the weathering. The canopy came out well. So much masking!

Doubtingmango
That's a great finish!

Neuling
I like it! Very well done!

Robert Podkoński
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.

Vincent
This already looks great!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Vincent!

Roland Sachsenhofer
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.

Roland Sachsenhofer
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! 🙂

James C
Awesome 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very realistic effects. Impressive.

Mr James
Those tracks are superbly done. A real stunner of a build

CaptGPF
Agree with Villers and Mr James! The uneven rust ont he tracks and upper half of the hulls where the water would drip down and cause corrosion is spectacular!

Neuling
I agree with everyone above!

Villiers de Vos
Very realistic.

Lex Jassies
Very nice build and weathering 👍

gorby
Fabulous result!

Michael Kohl
looking very good.

Lochsa River
Very cool!

Rui S
Beautiful weathering 👍

Aleš Petříček
Thank you guys

Simon Nagorsnik
AWESOME!!
Really like the different shades of the color and your perfect weathering!

Mr James
What Simon said 🙂

CaptGPF
Agree with Simon - the shading just makes this pop!

Neuling
Simon sez ........ 🙂
