This will become a project for in between and just for fun! I use the markings from the box to make a fighterbomber of the Luftwaffe or Marine. What would you do?

Holger Kranich AuthorYou are right, it is an very attractive scheme but a Starfighter in lizardscheme looks very good, too!

Peter MollenhauerHi, I once built a Marine version, it looked more elegant in my eyes. Happy modelling!

Holger Kranich AuthorSo it looks like consensus here seems to prevail in the opinion...😢

Holger Kranich AuthorMoin Stefan!
Das ist, in der Tat, eine sehr elegante Lackierung dieses wunderbaren Flugzeugs! Es würden mir nur die taktischen Nummern fehlen. Mal schauen ob die Restekiste was hergibt oder ich mich doch für eine Einsatzmaschine entscheide.

Duncan CookALso mit der würd ich auch zufrieden sein, es ist auch noch eine Viking 104 auf meiner Wunschliste.

Stefan SchachtHallo Holger, da gibt es einen Decalbogen von Daco ultra.glo.be/daco/KAst16.html Auf dem sind auch die Abzeichen für eine der Vikings

Holger Kranich AuthorHi Aghis!
You and all the other brave mates have convinced me to listen to my heart which always told that, as a Frisian, I need to make it naval! I'm greatly relieved!😄

Martien LourensHmmmmmmmmm .........I would build a Dutch version. 🙂
But I have to say that the German Navy camouflage looks better.
So ....... if I were a German, I made the naval version

Holger Kranich AuthorCool video, Aghis! But what a cacophonous sound!
Martien, very good choice!🙂
I'm impressed that there are so many mates who want to see it in maritime coloures!🙂

Holger Kranich AuthorHey Augie, I'll take the seat beneath you! Won't you build it for me?😢
6 August 2013, 20:04
AugieLol you'll do better.. besides I have a KV-9 i need to finish.. its heading to the longest build ever

Dirk HeyerHi Holger,
as a original Frisian German you must built a Navy Starfighter model.
I prefer the Navy colour scheme, so I can`t propose anything else.
When do you start this model?
And while you're building theis wonderful model, I`ll take a seat beneath Augie 🙂

Clifford KeeslerI will look forward to watching this one Holger. I love the 104 and that kit is on my wish list. Guess I will get around to one someday when I finish all these 1/32 helicopters I have stashed away. I like the Marine color scheme, that is what I did my last 1/48 104 in. It is a nice color scheme.

Holger Kranich AuthorThank you very much for the nice comments!
Has someone a suggestion for a brand of the orange colour? I only saw this special colour from Revell! But it would be great to do it with acrylics!

Holger Kranich AuthorGames Workshop Blazing Orange? I´ll have a look at my hobbyshop! Thank you for the hint, my dear!😢
