Lockheed F-104C Starfighter "Smoke II"

Aris Grey
Hello, how was the kit? Did you like it and the decals too?

Hi Aris, it is a nice kit. Not the most detailed one but easy to build. Apparently there are some shape issues, such as too skinny tip tanks, but I did not research or correct them. Looks good enough to me. Decals are OK, I used the NMF decal option on a Matchbox F-104 rebuild/conversion and discovered too late that the serial is wrong (the 8 should be a 9). Easy to correct before applying.

I started collecting starfighters. Recently i found the G/S version from Hasegawa and acquired some kits. Now i'm looking for the A/C versions and since hase is hard to find I'm considering to buy the italeri offering. Thank you for the info Hans.
